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.
Also known as:- Exclusion Appeal Panel, SENDIST Appeals
Answer: Yes, but only in the case of permanent exclusion which is upheld by the Discipline Committee. If the Headteacher’s decision to permanently exclude your child is upheld you can appeal to an independent committee against the decision. You need to write to the LEA within 15 school days from the Discipline Committee’s decision. You may appeal even if you did not make a case to the Discipline Committee. - Related Link
