Lord Quirk – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Quirk on 2014-05-07.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many pupils were excluded from (1) primary, and (2) secondary, schools in 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and during the latest year for which figures are available.

Lord Nash

The requested information for the 2009/10[1] and 2011/12[2] academic years is published in the permanent and fixed period exclusions statistical first releases for each year.

Information on permanent exclusions for the 1999/2000[3] academic year is publicly available in the 1999/2000 permanent exclusions statistical first release. Information on exclusion rates prior to 2005/06 was collected via the Termly Exclusions Survey rather than the School Census.

Information on permanent and fixed period exclusions for the 1979/80 and 1989/90 academic years is not held by the Department for Education.
