Exclusion from school

Exclusion from school is when your child is sent home from school for not following the school’s behaviour code. It is the headteacher's decision. 

There are two types of exclusions, fixed and permanent.

The Exclusions and Fair Access service

The Fair Access and Exclusions Team provides support for children and young people, parents and carers, school leaders, governing bodies and other professionals with exclusions and ensuring pupil receive a suitable education.

Permanent exclusions educational provision - Pupil Referral Units (PRU)

If a child has been permanently excluded from school alternative provision will be provided in the form of a placement at a PRU. During placements the individual educational, behavioural and social needs of the pupil can be assessed and any difficulties addressed with a view to returning, where possible, to mainstream school.
