Notes:
1. Figures for final year trainees include HEIs only, but exclude SCITT, OU and employment based routes. This is because the breakdown of teaching posts into full time or part time posts is only available for HEIs.
2. Trainees gaining QTS award and classified as not being employed in a full time teaching post six months after completing their course include trainees who are in part time teaching posts, seeking a teaching post, not seeking a teaching post and have an unknown destination.
3. Data on destinations of final year trainees for 2005/06 is not yet available.
4. The breakdown of the type of teaching posts which trainees enter (i.e. full time or part time) is only available for trainees who were awarded QTS in 2002/03 onwards.
5. Percentage calculation includes response whose employment status was unknown.
6. Figures are individually rounded to the nearest 10 and may not sum.
