Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Nash on 14 May (WA 532), of the just under a third of teachers who "did not have the confidence...to discipline pupils for unacceptable behaviour", what proportion of those teachers were in (1) primary schools, (2) secondary schools, (3) local authority schools, and (4) academies.

29 per cent of secondary school teachers did not feel confident using disciplinary powers, compared to 17 per cent of primary school teachers. The Department for Education does not hold separate data for local authority schools and academies.
