The exclusion from school of children aged four to seven

24 Jun 2009 Ofsted

Ref: 090012

The number of children aged seven and under who are excluded from primary schools is very small and comprises a tiny proportion of children of this age from a very small proportion of schools. Nevertheless, some children of this age group are receiving fixed-period exclusions, occasionally leading to permanent exclusion. This survey explored the reasons for this and the ways in which some schools manage to avoid using exclusion. The school’s philosophy, a supportive and stable school environment, and strong relationships between the school and parents were found to be important factors in preventing very young children from being excluded.
