Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the retention rate is for newly qualified teachers who were recorded in service between November 2014 and November 2015; and how many such teachers entered service in that time period.

There were 24,200 newly qualified teachers (that qualified during the 2014 calendar year) who were in service in a state funded school in England by November 2014. Of these, 87% were still in post one year later in November 2015.

This information is published in Table 8 of the ‘School Workforce in England: November 2015’ statistical release which is available at the following web link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-workforce
