Comparing nationallyToggle metrics in the sidebar to plot them on the chart above. Active metrics are shown first below.
What this means: The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers employed at the school. Part-time teachers are counted proportionally (e.g. a teacher working 3 days counts as 0.6 FTE).
Teacher numbers typically reflect the size and funding of the school. A school with 51 FTE teachers is larger than average. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.
What this means: The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching assistants employed at the school, including higher-level teaching assistants (HLTAs).
Teaching assistant numbers vary widely between schools. The number of TAs usually depends on the school's SEN population, funding, and teaching model.
What this means: Teacher turnover rate shows the percentage of teachers who left the school during the academic year. This includes retirements, resignations, and transfers.
A turnover rate above 20% is typically considered high and may suggest recruitment challenges, workload pressures, or leadership changes.
