Information on the retention of teachers in all state funded schools in England for the years to November 2017 is available in Table 8 of the publication, ‘School Workforce in England’, November 2017 available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/school-workforce-in-england-november-2017.

The Department recognises that there are differences in teacher recruitment and retention at a sub-national level and by subject and has been working to understand this. Information at local authority or regional level comparable to the national figures for 2016 and 2017 is not available. Information is available on the number of qualified teachers entering and leaving the profession by region for the years 2010 to 2015. It is published as part of the statistical release, Local analysis of Teacher Workforce: 2010 to 2015. Tables 2.1a (secondary) and 2.1b (primary) show the leaving rates, by region in state funded schools for the years 2011 to 2015. Information for entrants is shown in Table 2.3a (secondary) and Table 2.3b (primary) of this publication. Comparable information at local authority level is not available.
