Permanent exclusions from secondary schools as a % of pupils (2168) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of permanent exclusions 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 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.
'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 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.
