The lack of diversity in some areas very much ties in with the data on school staff promotions and moving into senior positions. The United Kingdom government's schools workforce data shows black and Asian people are underrepresented in the teaching workforce. According to recent figures covering state schools in England: Just 4.7% of teachers in England were Asian, despite Asian people making up 8.4% of 16- to 64-year-olds at the last census. Of those whose ethnicity was known, 2.3% of teachers were black, compared with 3.6% of the working-age population. At a more senior level, the disparity is even more stark. Just 1% of headteachers were black, and 1.6% were Asian. The vast majority of school heads -- 96% of the total -- were white (Parveen and McIntyre, 2021).
