Details

The Teacher Supply Model (TSM) is an annual model designed to estimate how many postgraduate trainee teachers are needed in order to provide state-funded English schools with a sufficient supply of new teachers.

The 2020 to 2021 TSM estimates how many postgraduate trainees are required on courses starting in autumn 2020.

This publication includes information on the TSM, along with a methodological annex, and a summary of allocations of initial teacher training places for the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
