Our data and research consider the impacts on pupils with particular characteristics, as well as considering regional disparities and area-level deprivation.</p><p>The department knows that the most significant factor affecting pupil attainment, which cuts across all ethnicities, is economic disadvantage. That is why we have consistently targeted support at the most disadvantaged and vulnerable, with schools continuing to receive additional funding through the pupil premium. Total pupil premium funding will increase to over £2.6 billion this financial year (2022/23), from £2.5 billion last year. On top of this funding, schools serving pupils from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller backgrounds are likely to attract funding through additional needs factors in the schools national funding formula, specifically through the mobility factor.</p><p>We are also working closely with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and will learn any lessons from the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Education Area pilots.</p>

The updated suspension and permanent exclusion guidance sets out that schools, local authorities and local partners should work together to understand what lies behind local trends, such as high rates of exclusions among one group. If they identify any gaps, they should act to ensure those who work with children have the training, services and support they need to address them. In addition, information is provided to governing boards on carefully considering the level of pupil moves and the characteristics of pupils who have been permanently excluded to ensure the sanction is only used when absolutely necessary.
