Footnotes

  1. The all pupils comparison figures taken from the national publication are produced using a different methodology based on enrolments and the school type is allocated in a different way. As a result of this, the all pupils comparison is not provided by school type as it is not appropriate to compare. More detailed information on the suspensions and permanent exclusions data published within this release is available in the accompanying methodology.
  2. State-funded alternative provision (AP) schools include pupil referral units, alternative provision academies and alternative provision free schools (in previous years this school type was labelled as 'Pupil referral unit' but the inclusion criteria is the same).
  3. While suspensions and permanent exclusions were possible throughout the 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years, national restrictions will have had an impact on the numbers presented and caution should be taken when comparing across years.
