General description

The data covers different aspects of the school workforce in Wales, using the data collected from the School Workforce Annual Census (SWAC).

Data collection and calculation

School teachers' pay data are derived from the School Workforce Annual Census (SWAC) returns in November each year. The returns are completed by local authorities and those schools which have opted-out of payroll and / or HR service level agreements with their local authority.

Frequency of publication

Annual

Data reference periods

From 2019/20 onwards.

Users, uses and context

Information relating to pay (including average salary and distribution across pay ranges) are based on information submitted in the SWAC Pay, HR and Absences return. Records from this return were linked to the SWAC School return using the minimum data set to provide a breakdown by school sector (i.e. primary, secondary etc). Where no corresponding record was identified in the SWAC School return their sector has been recorded as ‘Other’.

Rounding applied

* = numbers greater than zero but less than five. Teacher numbers have been rounded to the nearest 5.

Statistical quality

The information collected for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 have not undergone a formal final validation period. However, various stages of automated validation and sense-checking are built into the process to ensure a high quality of data to inform policy making. A final validation period is being considered to be introduced for future collections for schools and LAs to review the information they return, and re-submit their data where errors are identified prior to publication.
