School support staff statistics

Statistics on selected categories of school support staff - pupil support assistants, home-school link workers, behaviour support staff, educational psychologists, school nurses and library staff. 


Data on other categories of school support staff are held as management information and are available to download from the Support Staff Management Information datasets page.

The processing and quality assurance of the statistics on school support staff from 2017 onwards has been brought into line with procedures for National Statistics on pupils and teachers. This means that the statistics are not directly comparable with the data for previous years which is available as part of the Teacher Census Supplementary Data
