Who goes here

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

  • Teacher turnover: 30.9% a year (Birmingham 17.9%, typical in England 13.9%)
  • Where they went: about 38% moved to another school, 62% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
  • Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (one year, 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.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

Across Birmingham: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 21 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 2
  • Suspensions for bullying: 38 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 4 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Birmingham, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.
