The upcoming GCSE exam season may be returned to normal after the pandemic - but after all the disruption, some pressure might this year be taken off pupils who studied through Covid-19.

It is a legal requirement and means if a child is subject to a permanent exclusion from one school then the local authority must arrange full-time education as soon as possible. Nineteen of Sheffield’s secondary schools issued permanent exclusions during the 2021-22 academic year. See if your local...

However, for a multitude of reasons, senior leadership can and do decide to temporarily suspend pupils from school. Suspensions and permanent exclusions data, published in a Gov.uk package in April 2024, includes figures revealing which Sheffield primary schools handed out the most suspensions in the 2021-22 academic...
