The special educational needs of pupils with repeat suspensions
We examine the chronologies of suspensions and SEN identification for pupils who experienced repeat suspensions in the 2021/22 academic year
Risk factors of secondary school exclusion
Pupils with a history of exclusion or suspension at primary school, a history of involvement with social services and a history of disadvantage are at greatest risk of exclusion during secondary school
Did exclusions and suspensions increase in 2022/23?
Analysis of schools' attendance registers for 2022/23 suggests there has been an increase in absence due to exclusion / suspension (code E), particularly in Years 9 and 10.
Risk factors of permanent exclusion
We revisit the Timpson Review to examine the risk factors of permanent exclusions in the 2020/21 academic year
The relationship between month of birth, exclusions and identification of special educational needs
Pupils born in the summer are more likely to be identified as having special educational needs and disadabilities but are also (slightly) less likely to be excluded or suspended.
Repeat suspensions and exclusions during compulsory schooling
Around 15% of pupils experience suspension or permanent exclusion between Year 1 and Year 11
