Schools - exclusion of pupils
Summary of Service
Permanent exclusion is a very serious matter. Only a school's headteacher can permanently exclude a pupil or a named deputy if the headteacher is out of school.
A headteacher may decide to permanently exclude a pupil only when he/she is sure that:
- the pupil has seriously breached the school's discipline policy
- if the pupil remains in school, it would seriously harm the education or welfare of the pupil or others in the school.
The Education Welfare and Young Peoples Support Service (YPSS) and the Behaviour Support Services works with both schools and families in trying to prevent children being excluded from school and should exclusion take place, reintegrating children back into full time education.
Details of Service
A school should refer your child to the Education Welfare Service if they feel that your child is at risk of permanent exclusion.
An Education Welfare Officer will contact you. They will work with the school and yourself to try to prevent your child from being permanently excluded.
The school can draw up a Pastoral Support Programme to outline ways of helping your child. This plan will be agreed with you and may set targets for the pupil, parent/carers, school and other support groups.
