SEN pupils with a statement with 1 or more fixed period exclusions as a % of the school population (4717) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of pupils with one or more fixed period suspensions at state-funded primary, state-funded secondary and special schools for pupils with statements of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or Education, Health and Care Plans, as a percentage of the number (headcount) of all pupils of the same SEN stage (including sole or dual main registrations and boarding pupils).
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.
Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans were introduced from September 2014 as part of a range of SEND reforms. A pupil has a statement of SEN or an EHC plan when a local authority issues one following a formal assessment. This document sets out the child's needs and the extra help they should receive.
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.
