Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if his Department will disaggregate the data for primary initial teacher training and those for the early years initial teacher training programme in any future relevant publications on gov.uk.

The Department does not aggregate Primary initial teacher training (ITT) with Early Years ITT in any of its statistical publications relating to ITT.

Figures for Early Years are published separately to Primary in the ITT Allocations and ITT Census publications, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tsm-and-initial-teacher-training-allocations-2018-to-2019 and https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2017-to-2018 respectively.

The ITT Performance Profiles, to date, excluded trainees undertaking Early Years ITT programmes. The Department intends to publish data on the outcomes of Early Years trainees as experimental statistics for the first time as an annex to the ITT Performance Profiles 2016/17 in July 2018. The ITT Performance Profiles can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-performance-profiles-2015-to-2016.
