Recent data reveals that suspensions of primary school pupils in England have more than doubled over the past decade, with over 37,000 suspensions recorded in the autumn term of the last year alone. This alarming trend is coupled with a nearly 70% rise in permanent exclusions among primary-age children, leading to concerns about long-term impacts on affected children, many of whom have special educational needs. Educators and campaigners are urging the government to take action to improve standards and provide necessary support for struggling students.
