<p>The information requested is not held centrally.</p><p>Schools are not required
to report centrally on racist incidents or to publish figures. Schools have the freedom
to develop their own approaches for monitoring behaviour, including racist incidents,
and to exercise their own judgement as to what will work best for their pupils and
the communities they serve. They are required to publish a behaviour policy that outlines
measures to encourage good behaviour and to prevent all forms of bullying amongst
pupils, including racist bullying, and are held to account by Ofsted. Where schools
feel that an incident might constitute a crime, guidance makes it clear that they
should report it to the police.</p><p> </p>
