Applicant statistics for the 2010 applications year

Applicant statistics at 2 February 2010

Weekly statistical reports

From the beginning of March 2010 we started to publish statistics each week. These new weekly statistics comprise the following information.

  • A 'Front sheet' showing the number of applicants by country, gender and teaching age range and a breakdown of the teaching age range figures by country.
  • 'Web' statistics. These are the same tables for the numbers of applicants as described above that we used to publish monthly.
  • Separate tables that show the numbers of accepted applicants at training providers in England, Scotland and Wales in the 2010 applications year compared to the same stage of the 2009 applications year. We only used to publish these figures in the monthly statistics for April, July, September and October.
  • 'All' tables for each country, which are similar to the 'Web' statistics, but include cancelled and withdrawn applicants.
  • A 'Movers' table showing the ten subjects with the highest increases and decreases in the numbers of applicants for the 2010 applications year compared to the same stage of the 2009 applications year.
  • An individual table that compares the numbers of applicants to training courses for teaching the 14-19 Diplomas in the 2009 and 2010 applications years.
  • A graph that compares the numbers of applicants in the 2009 and 2010 applications years.

Applicant statistics for the 2008 and 2009 applications years

In this section we have published updated applicant statistics for each month of the 2008 and 2009 applications years starting from February in each applications year. These statistics compare the numbers of applicants in the 2008 and 2009 application years with the number of applicants at the same stage of the previous applications year. If there were at least one hundred applicants for an age range or subject, we have shown the percentage increase or decrease on the previous year's figure.

We have provided separate tables for the numbers of applicants to training providers in England, Wales and Scotland as well as a summary table that combines the figures for all three countries. Each table provides a breakdown of the number of male and female applicants for different primary teaching age ranges, middle years teaching and for each secondary teaching subject.

In the monthly statistics for April, July, September and October, we have provided tables for the numbers for accepted applicants in addition to those for the numbers of applicants.
