Statistical quality

The information collected from 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. 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.

The guidance for categorising schools according to Welsh medium provision has been updated. The aim of the new arrangements for categorising schools according to Welsh medium provision is to help local authorities and schools to plan their Welsh medium education provision in such a way that supports the Curriculum for Wales as well as the national goal of one million Welsh speakers, as set out in Cymraeg 2050. Information relating to academic year 2024/25 is the first year that data using the new categorisation system has been published. The data is not comparable with the previous categorisation system.

General description

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

Rounding applied

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