What is exclusion?
Exclusion can be used as a disciplinary sanction by schools if a child does something that is against the school behaviour policy. It means that a child must stay away from school. There are two types of exclusion: Fixed term exclusion is for a set number of days and your child will return to school after that time. Permanent exclusion means that your child is not allowed to return to that school.
