Trainee teacher NQT data request.
Dear West Suffolk College,
I am writing to make an Open Government request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If, however, this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist those who request information from you.
Firstly, from your most recent complete cohort data, how many teacher trainees successfully completed their training?
Secondly, how many of those same trainees were on an NQT placement at the end of their training, compared with how many were not employed (by a school full time) at the end of their training.
Lastly, How many of those same trainees were employed through a supply agency?
I understand that under the Act, I am entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm by email that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Luke Jacob

Dear Mr Jacob
Thank you for your request received on 18 April 2017. This request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and I am pleased to be able to respond within the 20 working days allowed.
Your request has been considered and I can confirm our response to your request as follows:
1. How many teacher trainees successfully completed their training in 15/16? 10
2. How many of those same trainees were on an NQT placement at the end of their training, compared with how many were not employed (by a school full time) at the end of their training. Our teacher trainees weren't strictly speaking NQTs nor will they be in schools for the most part. Seven were employed after the course, one was already in employment, one decided to work in a different field, and one was taking a year out to travel.
3. How many of those same trainees were employed through a supply agency? Three found employment through agencies.
