The Relationship between Teacher Turnover and School Performance

---

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between teacher turnover and school performance. It uses a database of 316 primary schools in six London Local Education Authorities derived by merging Government data on teachers and schools. This rich data includes school-level variables on teacher turnover matched to school characteristics. The study shows that high levels of teacher turnover can be shown to have detrimental effects on pupil progress and achievement.
