Permanent exclusions - state schools (number) - WMCA

This is the number of permanent exclusions at state-funded primary, state-funded secondary, and special schools. A permanent exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded and their name removed from the school register. Such a pupil would then be educated at another school or via some other form of provision. 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.
Schools include state-funded schools including schools maintained by the local authority (primary, middle, and secondary), maintained special schools, non-maintained special schools, academies, and special academies.
Pupil and exclusion numbers of 1 to 4 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.
