It is extremely rare for educators to decide that a pupil cannot return to their schools - it is the absolute last resort, when all other options have been exhausted.
Children must be in education. It is a legal requirement and means if a child is subject to a permanent exclusion from one school then the local authority must arrange full-time education as soon as possible.
Nineteen of Sheffield’s secondary schools issued permanent exclusions during the 2021-22 academic year.
See if your local school is one of those identified in figures published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
