I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

Please note that this his data is reflective of only those schools that use Serco HR on a year-on-year basis and report their workforce census data through us directly.

1.

*Please note that this is based on members of staff who have a contract end date provided; it does not necessarily mean that a person stopped working at a school but could relate to a fixed-term contract expiring, which would then be renewed the following academic year. Additionally, the way Serco handle contracts is such that when a teacher receives a pay increment, their current contract is ended and a new one is created. This happens every academic year, so it will also affect the figures.

2. 

*As with point 1, this relates to all newly created contracts so it includes members of staff whose fixed-term contracts have been renewed, and those who have received a pay increment and so have had a new contract created.

3. Lincolnshire County Council does not hold this information.

4.

 *The DfE only started asking for this item in 2021. The large difference in figures is due to using a different method for obtaining schools' data.
