Schools need help tackling problem of education for excluded pupils
13 May 2009
Nearly a third of schools surveyed are failing to provide pupils who have been excluded with suitable alternative full-time education, according to Day six of exclusion: the extent and quality of provision for pupils.
The report reveals that eight of the 28 secondary schools and two of the three special schools visited by Ofsted failed to comply with this duty, brought in under the Education and Inspections Act 2006. Although six of these schools did make some provision on their own site to ensure continuity of learning, they did not work in partnership with other schools as they were required to do
