Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers.

Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.
