It reports national trends in the number of permanent and fixed-period exclusions together with information on the characteristics of excluded pupils such as age, gender, ethnicity, free school meal eligibility, and special educational needs (SEN) as well as the reasons for exclusion.
The key points from the latest release are:
- there were 5080 permanent exclusions from state-funded primary, state-funded secondary and all special schools in the academic year 2010 to 2011
- in the year 2010 to 2011, there were 271,980 fixed-period exclusions from state-funded secondary schools, 37,790 fixed-period exclusions from state-funded primary schools and 14,340-fixed period exclusions from special schools
- the average length of a fixed-period exclusion in state-funded secondary schools was 2.4 days, for state-funded primary schools the average length of a fixed-period exclusion was 2.1 days
- the permanent exclusion rate for boys was approximately 3 times higher than that for girls. The fixed-period exclusion rate for boys was almost 3 times higher than that for girls
- pupils with SEN with statements are around 9 times more likely to be permanently excluded than those pupils with no SEN
- children who are eligible for free school meals are nearly 4 times more likely to receive a permanent exclusion and around 3 times more likely to receive a fixed-period exclusion than children who are not eligible for free school meals
