1 or more fixed period exclusions - secondary (% pupils) - WMCA

This is the number of pupils with one or more fixed period suspensions at state-funded secondary schools expressed as a percentage of the number (headcount) of pupils (including sole or dual main registrations and boarding pupils).
A fixed period exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded from a school but remains on the register of that school because they are expected to return when the exclusion period is completed. The head teacher of a school can exclude a pupil on disciplinary grounds only. Good discipline in schools is essential to ensure that all pupils can benefit from the opportunities provided by education. The decision to exclude a pupil must be lawful, reasonable, and fair. In addition, schools have a statutory duty not to discriminate against pupils on the basis of protected characteristics, such as disability or race. Schools and LAs must arrange alternative provision from the sixth day of the exclusion of pupils of compulsory school age.
Fixed period exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded from a school for a set period of time. A fixed period exclusion can involve a part of the school day and it does not have to be for a continuous period. A pupil may be excluded for one or more fixed periods up to a maximum of 45 school days in a single academic year. This total includes exclusions from previous schools covered by the exclusion legislation.
'State-funded secondary schools' refers to those schools maintained by the local authority, including middle schools deemed as secondary, city technology colleges, and academies.
Pupil and exclusion numbers of 1 to 4 or percentages based on these are suppressed to protect pupil confidentiality and numbers at national and regional levels are rounded to the nearest 10. Local authority totals across school types are also rounded to the nearest 10 to prevent disclosure of any suppressed values. Where any number is shown as 0, the original figure was also 0.
As pupils can receive more than one fixed period exclusion, in some cases the rate of exclusion may be above 100%.

本数据集统计公立资助中学（state-funded secondary schools）内，曾接受一次或多次定期停学处分的学生人数占学生总人数（按人头统计，包含唯一主注册、双重主注册学生及寄宿学生）的百分比。

定期停学（fixed period exclusion）指学生被学校暂时开除，但仍保留该校学籍，待停学期满后即可返校就读。学校校长仅可基于纪律事由对学生作出停学处分。良好的校园纪律是保障全体学生均能从教育资源中获益的必要前提。对学生作出停学处分的决定必须合法、合理且公正。此外，学校负有法定职责，不得基于残疾、种族等受保护特征对学生实施歧视。对于处于义务教育年龄段的被停学学生，学校与地方教育局（local authorities，简称LA）须自停学之日起第六日起，为其安排替代教育供给。

定期停学指学校对学生处以一段固定时长的停学处分，该处分可仅针对部分在校时段，且无需为连续时长。学生可被处以一次或多次定期停学，单学年内累计停学时长不得超过45个教学日。该累计时长包含此前依据学籍管理法规涉及的其他学校的停学记录。

“公立资助中学”指由地方当局运营维护的学校，包括被认定为中等教育阶段的中间学校、城市技术学院以及学院（academies）。

为保护学生隐私，学生人数为1至4或基于该基数计算的百分比数据将被隐匿。全国及区域层面的统计数据将四舍五入至最接近的10的倍数。不同学校类型对应的地方教育局总数据也将四舍五入至10的倍数，以防通过隐匿数据反推具体个体信息。若某数值标注为0，则原始统计值确为0。

由于一名学生可多次接受定期停学处分，部分情况下停学率可能超过100%。
