To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many entrants to the early years initial teacher training programme have (a) completed, (b) withdrawn from and (c) failed to finish that programme in (i) 2013-14, (ii) 2015-16 and (iii) 2016-17.

The Head of Profession for Statistics for the Department is currently reviewing the data collected on early years initial teacher training. The first stage of our review into early years data has focussed on the entrants into early years initial teacher training and we are pleased to have published statistics for these in this year’s initial teacher training census. The second stage of our review is focussing on outcomes, such as completion rates. We are unable to provide any data while this review is ongoing - but we will be publishing information on this in due course.
