DfE, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England, annual figures for full academic years 2016/17 to 2024/25 (published 9 July 2026), school level; the same measures for every year. A figure of 0 means none recorded. Counts are small in most schools, so one pupil can move a percentage a lot. A value above 100% of pupils cannot be right, so it is not shown. 2019/20 and 2020/21 were affected by COVID-19 restrictions, so take care comparing with other years.
