Statistical quality

The information collected for 2019 to 2024 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.

The teachers’ pay award for academic year 2022/23 was not finalised and implemented until after the SWAC census date in November 2022 and average pay figures published for 2022/23 in July 2023 did not fully reflect the pay uplift for 2022/23. As a result, the increase in average teachers’ pay between 2022/23 and 2023/24 as shown in the data will be greater than the 2023 pay award uplift as it includes an element of the 2022 teachers’ pay award where local authorities were unable to implement it before the SWAC census date in November 2022.
