Information on postgraduate entrants to initial teacher training (ITT) for the period 2010-11 to 2015-16 can be found in the ITT Census 2015/16: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2015-to-2016

In 2015/16, Teach First data was collected for the first time for inclusion in the ITT Census. This reflects the Teacher Supply Model (TSM) methodology. In previous years, Teach First was not included. Please see the tables for historic information on entrants to the Teach First Summer Institute.
