"This is not about a system in crisis, this is about a system working as it was designed. "

"We must also remember these figures only represent official Exclusions. "

"The category of 'Persistent Disruptive Behaviour' continues to be the most recorded reason for Exclusions. "

"Ethnic disparities remain clear: Gypsy & Roma students faced the highest rates of suspension (39.1%) and permanent exclusion. Travellers of Irish heritage and Black and White Caribbean students shared the second highest rates of permanent exclusion. "

"We have seen a worrying 24% increase in suspensions within primary schools. Over 36,000 Exclusions and suspensions were recorded for children aged six years and under, a 29% increase on the previous year. "

"These figures confirm what communities already know: The school system continues to fail working-class, disabled, and racialised children. "

"Children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) Support were 22% more likely to be suspended. And children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) were 19% more likely, compared to those with no identified SEN. "

"Children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) were four times more likely to be suspended, and five times more likely to be permanently excluded than their non-FSM peers. "

Please read and share:. "Suspensions are at an all-time high, increasing by 21% and nearing 1 million instances, and permanent Exclusions increased by 16%, nearing 10,000. "

📢 NME Statement: Latest data on school exclusions and suspensions released (2023/24) and at an all time high. The time for change is now. We must not ignore this information, all children deserve so much better. We need to challenge the system and abolish school exclusions.
