Answer

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, if he will list head teachers by (a) race and (b) gender in (i) England, (ii) each region and (iii) each local education authority. [202910] Mr. Miliband: Information on the ethnic origin of head teachers is not collected centrally. The following table gives the number of full-time regular head teachers by gender for maintained sector schools in England listed by region and local education authority at March 2003, (the latest information available by gender). The information is taken from the Database of Teachers' Records a database maintained primarily for pensions purposes. LEAs are shown as not available where data are insufficiently complete to be reliable. National and regional totals show data for all LEAs.
