Exclusions

 

The Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF) produced new guidance in September 2008 called “Improving Behaviour and Attendance: Guidance on Exclusion from Schools and Pupil Referral Units” A copy of the full document is attached and provides guidance on procedure for Schools and Parents/Carers.

 

We adhere to this guidance when managing school admissions.

 

If as a parent or Carer you are faced with exclusion for your child you will receive written notification of the procedure and of your rights.

 

The attached documents provide a summary of the national guidance and the guidance itself.  It is only intended to be a summary.  More specific advice and guidance can be obtained from the Exclusion and Reintegration Officer.
