Over the past decade, the number of pupils permanently excluded from schools has fallen, from 12,461 in 1996/97 to 9,130 in 2005/06. However, throughout this period a larger proportion of Black Caribbean and White and Black Caribbean pupils has been excluded than White British pupils.
Ofsted carried out a small-scale survey of this subject, which included analysing information about exclusion in school self-evaluation forms and visiting schools that had been judged outstanding for behaviour in their most recent Ofsted inspection.
