Excluded pupils

Permanent exclusion means that the child cannot return to the school unless re-instated.

In the case of permanent exclusion, the procedures for fixed term exclusion will be followed.

Appeal a decision

If the Discipline Committee upholds the Head Teacher's decision to permanently exclude your child, you have the right to appeal to an Independent Review Panel.

If you decide to appeal it is important that you lodge your appeal within 15 school days from the date of the Discipline Committee decision.

If your child is not re-instated by the Independent Review Panel your child's name will be removed from the school roll.

What happens if your child is permanently excluded

If your child is permanently excluded, the Council has to provide other suitable education.

This may be a place in another school or other suitable arrangements may be made.
