This is the number of permanent exclusions at state-funded primary, state-funded secondary and special schools for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) at School Action Plus, as a percentage of the number (headcount) of all pupils of the same SEN stage (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.
School Action Plus is when the teacher and the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) are given advice or support from outside specialists. For example a specialist teacher, an educational psychologist, a speech and language therapist or other health professionals). Extra or different help to that provided through School Action can then be put in place.
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. Excludes general hospital schools, independent special schools and independent schools approved for SEN pupils.
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.
