Service Description: All schools should have a written policy setting out the standards of behaviour it expects. The policy should outline what the school will do if a pupil’s behaviour falls below these standards. Schools may use exclusion as a way of managing the behaviour of pupils. It is also used as a way of giving clear messages to the pupil involved and the whole school community, that certain kinds of behaviour are unacceptable. There are two types of exclusion from school: A fixed period of exclusion A permanent exclusion For further information and guidance on exclusions please click the link above.

Answer: The Headteacher is responsible in law for the standards of behaviour and discipline in school. Sometimes pupils behave in ways which disrupt offend or cause distress to other pupils and staff. As a last resort headteachers may use exclusion from school in order to solve this problem and protect the safety, welfare and education of other pupils. - Related Link
