It shows responses from those teaching at secondary level (359 respondents) and those teaching particular subjects at secondary level: art and design (34 respondents), English / literacy (44 respondents), geography (103 respondents), history (31 respondents), mathematics / numeracy (39 respondents), PSHE including tutor time (71 respondents), and science (84 respondents). Respondents may have reported teaching multiple subjects, and may not have answered every questionnaire item. [+/-] indicators show statistically significant differences (p < .05) across those reporting teaching the subject compared to those not teaching the subject. An indicator of ‘[-]’ shows where those teaching the subject reported lower compared to those not teaching the subject, and an indicator of ‘[+]’ shows where those teaching the subject report higher compared to those not teaching the subject.
