📚 | NEW REPORT: School exclusions & suspensions are on the rise, and it is disproportionately affecting certain children. Our new report with The Difference looks at the scale & impact of the problem, including the huge cost to the state. ippr.org/articles/who-i…

A record 32 million school days were lost due to exclusions, suspensions & unauthorised absences in 2022/23. 👉 The poorest students are 4x more likely to be suspended 👉 Children with SEN are 5x more likely to be permanently excluded Find out more: ippr.org/articles/who-i…

The children losing the most learning are those facing the greatest challenges in their lives. Our analysis has also found a £1.6 billion cost to the state over a lifetime for just a single cohort of permanently excluded children. Proud to have co-authored this report🎒

Our new analysis reveals that suspensions and exclusions across all schools and all year groups in England are predicted to have risen by over 20 per cent last year. This has huge social, economic and educational costs. Read our new report: ippr.org/articles/who-i…

New analysis for our latest report reveals there are costs of at least £170,000 per child directly associated with permanent exclusion - for last year’s excluded cohort this means costs to the state of £1.6 bn over a lifetime. Find out more: ippr.org/articles/who-i…
