Staff
Teachers leaving each year
- Teacher turnover: 6.6% a year (West Northamptonshire 16.1%, typical in England 13.9%)
- Where they went: about 44% moved to another school, 56% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
- Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)
Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. This is a small staff, so one or two teachers leaving moves the figure a lot.
