Looking at what happens to pupils who have been permanently excluded.
How many of them are re-integrated into mainstream schools after exclusion?
I’ll be using data from National Pupil Database on permanent exclusions from the 2018/19 academic year, the final full academic year to have been unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Published DfE statistics show that there were 7,894 permanent exclusions that year, which corresponds to 0.1% of the school population.
We link the pupils to subsequent January School Census records in the following 3 academic years (2020, 2021 and 2022).
