Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what is the average number of hours of literacy teaching received per pupil in each year of Key Stage One.

The department does not collect primary school curriculum data in the annual school workforce census and so there is no data available on the average number of hours of literacy teaching received per key stage 1 pupil. The school workforce census collects information on teaching in a sample of secondary schools and this information is published in our national statistics, the latest of which refers to the November 2021 census, and is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england.
