<p>Information on the number and rate of permanent exclusions is published in the
annual permanent and fixed period exclusions statistical release which can be found
at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-exclusions"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-exclusions</a>.
Data broken down by National Curriculum year group is published in table 3 and a time
series is provided in the underlying data.</p><p>Information is not held centrally
on the number of children who left full time education after a permanent exclusion
in National Curriculum Years 9-11. Local authorities have a statutory duty to arrange
suitable full time education for permanently excluded children of compulsory school
age, which must begin no later than six days after the exclusion.</p><p>Following
the Timpson review, the Department has committed to make schools accountable for the
outcomes of permanently excluded pupils. Over the summer, the Department will work
with education leaders to design a consultation, to be launched in the autumn, on
how to deliver these reforms in practice.</p>
