Answer
We support head teachers in using exclusion where this is warranted.
We have launched a review of exclusions, led by Edward Timpson, which will explore how head teachers use exclusion in practice and differences in exclusion rates across England.
The review will aim to report by the end of the year. The full terms of reference for the review can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusions-review-terms-of-reference.
