Exclusions from school
Abstract
Exclusion from school is currently an issue of public interest, with numbers on the increase and concern that this trend may indicate a deterioration in the standards of pupil behaviour. Explores the data further, presenting a clear picture of who is being excluded and the reasons given for their exclusion. Also presents evidence that it is a minority of schools that exclude a majority of pupils. Identifies examples of good practice in schools with low exclusion rates, such as taking a child‐centred approach, providing support to inexperienced staff, working effectively with external support services and involving parents and the pupils themselves in positive problem‐solving approaches.
