Excluded pupils' results 'to be part of league tables'
This includes concerns about the quality of some"alternative provision" places, where pupils are taught if they are removed from mainstream schools.
But the review says despite numbers rising since 2014, the current rates of exclusion are not unusually high, and are lower than a decade ago.There were calls for more scrutiny of how exclusions tend to be concentrated in some"vulnerable" groups. While 43% of secondary schools had no permanent exclusions, in 0.2% of secondary schools there were more than 10 pupils permanently excluded per year.
The education secretary said it was important"not to draw a simple causal link between exclusions and knife crime, as there is no clear evidence to back this up". It will also ask the education watchdog Ofsted to tackle"off-rolling" where schools might try to remove pupils who cause problems or who might lower exam league table performance.
