Mrs. Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many childcare settings located in Sure Start children's centres have closed in each quarter of the last 12 months. [268630]

Teachers: Gender

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how many and what proportion of (a) secondary and (b) primary school headteachers were (i) male and (ii) female in each of the last 10 years; and if he will make a statement; [267743]

(2) how many and what proportion of (a) secondary and (b) primary school teachers were (i) male and (ii) female in each of the last 10 years; and if he will make a statement. [267744]

Jim Knight: The available information on full-time regular qualified teachers in local authority maintained schools by phase, grade and sex is published in Table D2 of the Statistical First Release “School Workforce in England (including Local Authority level figures), January 2008 (Revised)” which can be found at:


20 Apr 2009 : Column 283W

The annual survey of teachers in service and teacher vacancies, 618G, is the Department’s preferred source of teacher numbers in service, but this is not broken down by gender. Table D2 uses information from the Database of Teacher Records which is not as complete as 618G. Hence, the proportions quoted within it are reliable but the underlying numbers are not included.


20 Apr 2009 : Column 284W

Underlying teacher numbers, broken down by gender, are available from the School Census and cover all teachers employed in local authority maintained nursery/primary and secondary schools. These figures cannot be broken down by grade however and therefore relate to all teachers including heads.
