The number of pupils excluded from School in the Scarborough borough has fallen this year.
There were 710 fixed term exclusions issued in the last 12 months to 326 children
That's down from 1059 exclusions and 348 children the year before.
County Councillor Janet Jefferson is pleased with the improvement.
There has been a slight increase in permanent exclusions though up from 5 to 7.
Jane Le Sarge is assistant director for inclusion at the county council, she has welcomed the figures but says there is still work to do.
In the 2020/21 academic year, there have been a total of 3257 fixed term exclusions for a total of 1462 individual children in North Yorkshire. 326 of these children were on roll of mainstream schools in Scarborough and Whitby constituency.
In the same period last year, there were 4189 fixed-term exclusions for a total of 1491 individual children, 348 of these children were on roll of mainstream schools in Scarborough and Whitby constituency.
The most common reason for a fixed-term exclusion in the constituency has consistently been ‘persistent disruptive behaviour’.
In 2019/20 schools in the constituency area had a 14.4% share of the schools population in North Yorkshire and 24.3% of fixed term exclusions for the county, this decreased to 21.8% in the 2020/21 academic year.
Fixed-term exclusions can be a useful sanction, but frequent use can place pressure on family and foster placements, impacts on achievement, and may lead to risky behaviour while the pupil is not in school during the day.
