Latest figures show rise in exclusions
Government figures show there were 9,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],880 expulsions from primary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], secondary and special needs schools in 2003-04, up from 9,290 in 2002-03. The proportion of pupils expelled has also risen for the first time in three years, from 0.12% to 0.13%. The number of suspensions from schools in 2003-4 was 344,510. This is the first time the DfES has provided a breakdown of the reasons for expulsions. The largest increase in expulsions was among secondary pupils, accounting for 8,320 – up from 7,690 in 2002-03. The overall figure is the highest since 1998-99 but 2,420 fewer than in 1997-98. Some 81% of expulsions in the latest figures are of boys, with 14 year olds the largest single age group affected. Persistent disruptive behaviour was the biggest cause, followed by physically assaulting a pupil. After disruptive behaviour (3,040) and assaults on pupils (1,720), assaulting an adult accounted for the most permanent exclusions – 1,190. Then came verbal abuse or threatening behaviour towards an adult, on 1,130. Parental appeals against exclusions increased from 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],070 to 1,130. The proportion which succeeded was up slightly from 21.1% to 21.2%. However the number of these which resulted in children returning to the same school fell from 150 to 130, or 71.3% to 57%. The DfES has said this was because of tougher guidelines for appeal panels.
The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
