School - Exclusion Of Pupils

Unfortunately there may be an occasion that a pupil will need to be excluded from school.   An exclusion can be for a fixed term (a day/number of days) or on permanent basis.  In these circumstances the Headteacher is the only person who has the right to exclude a child and when this happens the parent/carer should be notified immediately.

A letter containing the following should be sent to the parent/carer within one school day of the Headteachers decision to exclude their pupil.

 

• a detailed explanation for the exclusion
• the procedures adopted to try and avoid the exclusion
• the length of the fixed term exclusion
• the date the child should return to school
• the arrangements for school work to be carried out at home whilst the pupil is away from school
• details of how to appeal to the School Governing Body
