Teachers

Mr. Davey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average salary of (a) state school and (b) city academy teachers was in 2004–05. [31430]

Jacqui Smith: In March 2004, the latest information available, it is provisionally estimated that the average salary of full-time regular teachers in maintained sector schools was £31,680.

No reliable figures are available to estimate the average salary of teachers employed in city academies that were open in March 2004.

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what proportion of black and minority ethnic teachers (a) retired and (b) resigned from each London secondary school in each year since 1997; [33310]

(2) what percentage of teachers in each secondary school in each London borough were of a black and minority ethnic background in each year since 1997. [33311]

Jacqui Smith: The information requested is not collected centrally.

Information on the minority ethnic background of teachers is not available at school level or by phase of education. Information at local authority level for January 2005 was published in SFR41/2005 on 28 September 2005. A copy of this publication has been placed in the House of Commons Library. Alternatively it is available at the following URL: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000603/index.shtml

Mr. Davey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate she has made of the number of teachers in receipt of management

allowances who will not qualify for a teaching and learning responsibility payment; and if she will make a statement. [33354]

Jacqui Smith: Following reviews of their staffing structures, it will be for individual schools to determine whether teachers currently holding Management Allowances meet the criteria for Teaching and Learning Responsibility payments. Reviewing staffing structures will build on work force reform to help ensure that teachers focus on teaching and leading teaching and learning.

Mr. Davey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) what percentage of teachers had remained in the profession after (a) two, (b) five and (c) 10 years in the last period for which figures are available; [31372]

(2) what assessment she has made of the teacher retention rate in state schools in England. [31383]

Jacqui Smith: The latest information available relates to March 2004. It shows that an estimated 80 per cent. of full and part-time regular qualified teachers were still in service in 2004 after entering the maintained sector service for the first time between two and three years previously. The equivalent figure for those entering between five and six years earlier was 74 per cent; and for those entering between 10 and 11 years earlier, 60 per cent.

Many teachers take a break from service at some stage and return later, and many take a break fairly early in their career. Figures show that in 2003–04, 26 per cent. of all entrants were returning to service, and of these over a third had accrued less than five years service before their break. In addition to those on a break, an unknown number will be in teaching service outside of the English maintained sector.

1 Dec 2005 : Column 789W

In January 2005 the full-time equivalent number of teachers in service was 32,700 higher than in 1997. There are now more teachers in service than in any year since 1981.

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many (a) parents and (b) pupils have been prosecuted for attacks on teaching staff in each of the last 10 years; and if she will make a statement. [32664]

Jacqui Smith: The requested information is not collected centrally.
