Ce que cela signifie : The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers employed at the school. Part-time teachers are counted proportionally (e.g. a teacher working 3 days counts as 0.6 FTE).

Teacher numbers typically reflect the size and funding of the school. A school with 1 FTE teachers is relatively small. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

Ce que cela signifie : The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching assistants employed at the school, including higher-level teaching assistants (HLTAs).

Teaching assistant numbers vary widely between schools. The number of TAs usually depends on the school's SEN population, funding, and teaching model.

Ce que cela signifie : The pupil-to-teacher ratio (PTR) divides the total number of pupils by the number of FTE teachers. It indicates how many pupils each teacher is responsible for on average, though actual class sizes may differ.

A pupil-to-teacher ratio above 25 is higher than typical. This may indicate larger class sizes or budget constraints limiting teacher recruitment.
