The Timpson Review of 2019 (PDF) identified a number of factors associated with a greater risk of being permanently excluded.
These included some types of SEN, being a boy, being disadvantaged and a history of involvement in social care.
In this post we revisit this work, identify a number of other risk factors and examine the interaction between them.
There is a lag of almost a year in the production of exclusions data. Data for the 2021/22 academic year was published in July 2023. Consequently, data for 2020/21 was the most recent year of data available to me at the time of writing[1].
