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 | 10.2 | 8.2 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 19.6% |
| 2023/24 | 9.2 | 9.2 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0% |
| 2022/23 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 25.0% |
| 2021/22 | 8.8 | 6.4 | 0.0 | 2.4 | 27.3% |
| 2020/21 | 11.4 | 8.8 | 1.0 | 1.6 | 22.8% |
| 2019/20 | 8.8 | 7.8 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 11.4% |
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.
Catchment area
Nobody publishes a catchment area map for this school that we can read. That does not mean an address is outside its area. It means we hold no map, so we cannot tell you either way.
