[1] The within-school Pupil:Teacher Ratio (qualified and unqualified teachers) is calculated by dividing the January 2017 total Full Time Equivalent (FTE) number of pupils on roll in schools by the November 2016 total number of FTE teachers in schools. Where schools are not open on Census (January) they are excluded. See School Workforce Census methodology document for further information: Methodology: SFR25/2017
