Staffing: Teachers
4.8 It should be noted that the information relating to the number and FTE of part-time primary teachers has been taken from the 1998 census due to unresolved issues concerning 1999 data. Changes between years in primary teacher numbers are derived from information on full-time teachers only.
4.9 At September 1999, there were 27,621 teachers, with a full-time equivalent of over 22,600, employed in publicly funded primary schools. 93 per cent of primary teachers (FTE) were female. There was little variation by grade in the percentage of teachers who were female, except at Headteacher, where the percentage was 78 per cent .
4.10 Overall, about a quarter of primary teachers were working part-time. The mode of working of teachers is recorded on a school-by-school basis. Thus staff who work full-time, but in more than one school, will be recorded as working part-time in each of these schools. Similarly, that will include those staff who work in the, primary/ secondary or primary/special departments of a school serving more than one sector. This means that the number of part-time teachers shown in Table 7 will be an over-estimate of the actual number of individual part-time teachers in the primary school sector. Part-time working occurred more frequently amongst unpromoted teachers, just over a third of whom were working part-time. Just over 10 per cent of senior teachers were also working part-time. Part-time working was uncommon for Headteachers, Depute Headteachers and Assistant Headteachers.
