HC Deb 03 April 1995 vol 257 cc911-5W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list by local education authority all categories of non-teaching staff employed(a) in schools and (b) outside schools indicating which are considered to be administrative staff; and what is the ratio to teachers. [17654]

Mr. Robin Squire

The table shows, for each local authority in England, the full-time equivalent numbers of selected categories of non-teaching staff employed in LEA maintained schools. This information is taken from the department's 1994 annual schools' census.

Mr. Robin Squire

The table gives information about types of contract for teachers employed in local authority-maintained schools; this was first collected in 1992. Information collected on non-teaching staff in schools does not distinguish between permanent and temporary staff.

Information about non-teaching staff employed in the local authority education service is collected by the Local Government management board. This information covers all non-teaching staff whether employed in or outside of schools. This source does not distinguish between staff employed in schools and those employed elsewhere, nor does it separate administration from other staff. Further details of the data available together with data for each local authority were provided in my letters dated 21 March to my hon. Friend the Member for Stockton, South (Mr. Devlin), in answer to his question, Official Report, 21 February column 181, and to my hon. Friend the member for Blackpool, North (Mr. Elletson) in answer to his question, Official Report, 28 February column 534. Copies of the letters are available in the Library.
