(asked on 26th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many full-time equivalent (a) teachers, (b) teaching assistants and (c) support staff were empolyed in local authority schools in Coventry in each year since 2010.
The full time equivalent (FTE) number of teachers, teaching assistant and support staff in service in local authority maintained schools in Coventry and England from November 2010 to November 2016 is provided in the table below. November 2017 figures will be publicly available at the end of June 2018.
The apparent decreases are due to the increasing number of academy conversions and the consequent migration of teachers from local authority maintained schools to academies in the statistics requested.

Figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
[1] Figures include estimates for missing schools for England but are not available by local authority.
[2] The total number of FTE teaching assistants was estimated for November 2010 due to 15% of teaching assistants having missing ‘hours worked’ data. To produce this estimate it has been assumed the teaching assistants with missing data have similar hours worked to those for whom we received data. This was only estimated for England.
[3] The actual hours worked which is used to calculate the FTE of support staff was not collected in the November 2010 School Workforce Census and therefore is not available.
