PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Pupil Exclusions (7 January 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of (a) school students and (b) BAME school students were excluded in 2019.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

Answer

The information requested is not held centrally, as data on exclusions in 2019 is not yet available.

The National Statistics release ‘Permanent and fixed-period exclusions in England 2017 to 2018’ includes information on the number and rate of permanent and fixed period exclusions.

The release is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/permanent-and-fixed-period-exclusions-in-england-2017-to-2018.

In the national tables, table 1 has overall exclusion rates. The Department does not collect exclusion data for disabled students separately. Table 5 has exclusion rates by Special Educational Needs provision. Table 8 has exclusion information by ethnic group.
