Record High School Exclusions in England

News summary

England has seen a record increase in school suspensions and exclusions, with 786,961 pupils suspended and 9,376 permanently excluded in the 2022/23 academic year, a significant rise from the previous year. Persistent disruptive behavior was the leading cause, with additional factors including violence and abuse. Education Minister Stephen Morgan described the figures as 'shocking' and highlighted the need for systemic changes to address the roots of poor behavior, such as poverty and unmet special needs. The government plans to introduce mental health professionals in secondary schools, free breakfast clubs in primary schools, and earlier interventions for pupils with special needs. Teachers and school leaders have expressed concerns over the increasing complexity of student needs and the lack of resources to support early intervention. The rise in suspensions and exclusions is seen as a reflection of broader societal issues and the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student behavior.
