How these figures are counted

Each advert is counted once by its Teaching Vacancies URL, not by the number of people the employer may appoint. Open means the watch has not closed it and its published closing instant has not passed. These are adverts observed by this watch, not all vacancies in England.

Roles use the watch's reviewed category and title rules. They are listing classifications, not changes to employer copy.

This week ends at midnight starting next Monday in Europe/London. Only still-open adverts closing before that instant count; adverts with no valid closing date are excluded.

Groups with no included adverts or events are omitted. Ties use the stored group value in ascending binary order. No salary amounts or Ofsted outcomes enter a ranking.
