Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, for each year since 2010, what percentage of exclusions from (1) maintained schools, and (2) academy schools, related to disabled pupils with or without statements.

The Department for Education does not publish information on exclusions of pupils with special education needs (SEN) for academies.

Information for state-funded schools is published in the “Permanent and fixed-period exclusions in England: 2012 to 2013” Statistical First Release. This information is published online at:

www.gov.uk/government/statistics/permanent-and-fixed-period-exclusions-in-england-2012-to-2013

Table 9 gives a time series of the number of permanent exclusions of pupils with SEN. Tables 10a and 10b show the number of fixed-period exclusions of pupils with SEN and the number of pupils with SEN with one or more fixed- period exclusion, respectively. Data for earlier years can be found in the “Statistics: exclusions” series. This information is published online at:
