Risk factors of permanent exclusion
We revisit the Timpson Review to examine the risk factors of permanent exclusions in the 2020/21 academic year
Some things you might not have known about special educational needs and permanent exclusions
Ahead of publication of exclusions data for 2021/22, we examine some lesser known features of the relationship between SEN and permanent exclusion
