Teachers staying and leaving
These come from the School Workforce Census, which follows each teacher into the next year. The numbers count full-time jobs, so a teacher who works half the week counts as half. They are not a count of people.
| Census year | Teachers (FTE) | Still there a year later | Moved to another state school | Left state schools | Left in total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024/25 | 6.0 | 5.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 16.7% |
| 2023/24 | 6.9 | 6.3 | 0.0 | 0.6 | 8.7% |
| 2022/23 | 6.2 | 6.2 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0% |
| 2021/22 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0% |
| 2020/21 | 6.0 | 6.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0% |
| 2019/20 | 6.0 | 6.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0% |
This is turnover among teachers. It says nothing about the headteacher or the senior leadership team: DfE publishes leadership retention separately and we do not hold it by school.

Where it is
The shaded shape is the area the council published for Nanstallon Community Primary School. Living inside it is not the same as being offered a place. Councils use these areas in different ways. Some use them to help decide who gets a place when a school is full. Some use them to decide who gets free school transport. Many use them for both. Check with the council which it is here. The edge is drawn to about 20 metres, so do not use it to judge a single house.
