Expulsion in the UK
State Sector
The rules associated with the exclusion If a child has been expelled from two schools then a state school is legally permitted to refuse to admit a pupil (even if they have a space for the child); in the case of a school which is on special measures then a child who has been expelled from one school may be treated in this way. Because of these rules if a child is expelled from a school then it can result in them being removed totally from the state education system. As a result of this fact the vast majority of headteachers and school governors do not view expulsion lightly. Special measures is a term used by Ofsted to designate schools failing to supply an acceptable level of education. ...
As a result in the state sector in the UK it is rare for a pupil to be expelled (permanent exclusion is the current term for expulsion). In the UK system the exclusion of pupils is governed by the Education Act 2002, for an overview of the topic please see chapter 12 of A Guide to the Law for School Governors (Community Schools edition, ISBN 1844781216, DfES reference GTTLC2004, crown copyright 2004 or the later edition ISBN 1844785432, DfES reference DFES-0227-2005, crown copyright 2006), The above act states.
the Secretary of State's guidance states that exclusion is a serious step. Exclusion, should be used only in response to serious breaches of a school's discipline policy and only after a range of alternative strategies to resolve the pupil's diciplinary problems have been tried and proven to have failed; and where allowing the pupil to remain in school would be seriously detrimental to the education or welfare of other pupils and staff, or of the pupil himself or herself. The most recent guidance to schools (Improving behaviour and attendance: guidance on exclusion from schools and pupil referral units: DfES/0087/2003) states that there may be occasions where in a headteacher's judgement it is correct to expel a pupil for a first or one off offence. These include - Serious actual of threatened violence against another pupil or a member of staff;
- Sexual abuse or assault;
- Supplying an illegal drug;
- Carrying an offensive weapon.
Some other dire acts which might capture the imagination of the general public are not listed here but the following acts could lead to exclusion. - computer hacking
- persistent bullying, such as racism (which is considered violence)
- persistent truancy
- stealing (on the second occasion), for example, breaking into lockers (in secondary schools)
In practise a pupil can be subject to permanent exclusion for a total of five outrages against good order at the school. The pupils do not have to receive formal 'warnings' as such. Depending on what a child has done they can be excluded from the school within a matter of minutes or hours of their misdeed. The teaching staff at a school can recommend the expulsion of a pupil but only the headteacher is legally empowered to expel a pupil, the head teacher is not permitted to delegate that power to another person, if the headteacher is ill or otherwise unable to perform their duties then another member of staff may take on the duties of the headteacher and become a acting headteacher. In the UK and elsewhere, a head teacher is the most senior teacher in a school. ...
Reasons for expulsion from UK Schools For a single case of one of the following a pupil can be excluded permanently - A serious act of violence, for example bringing a knife to school and stabbing a pupil or member of staff.
- A drug offense, for example the supply of a controlled drug to other pupils. A small amount of a 'soft drug' (such as one joint) is not normally considered as sufficient grounds for expulsion.
- A sexual offense, for example if one pupil rapes another pupil.
- A racially aggravated offense, for example if one pupil punches another pupil (of a different race) while shouting some racial slur.
Rather than a single outrage a long and dire history of breaking school rules can result in expulsion. For other uses, see Violence (disambiguation). ...

- Persistent defiance. Also a pupil can be expelled for a persistent rebellion against the school rules. This is where the pupil has done many bad things which when taken on their own are not serious, but when taken together are a serious matter.
Some headteachers are aware that if they expel a pupil for an act of violence against another pupil that the expelled pupil may at a later time assault the victim a second time as a retaliation for being expelled. To guard against this event one method is to expel the violent pupil not for violence but for Persistent defiance against the school rules as the majority of violent pupils are also often rebelling against the school rules.
Some persons have considered that the use of the totting up process of the Persistent defiance to be unreasonable as often the pupil will have already been punished once already for each act and that the expulsion amounts to a second punishment imposed after the matter had been settled by the first punishment. Look up Punishment in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
Actions required of the headteacher at the time of the explusion The headteacher must inform the parents of the following facts. - The period of the exclusion (or that it is permanent)
- The reasons for the exclusion
- The fact that the parent can make an appeal
- How the appeal can be made.
In the following cases the headteacher must inform the Local Education Authority of the facts in cases of A Local Education Authority (LEA) is the part of a council in England or Wales that is responsible for education within that councils jurisdiction. ...
- Permanent exclusions
- Fixed term exclusions of more than five days (or ten lunchtimes) in one term
- Exclusions which result in the loss of the opportunity to take a public examination.
Appeals The pupil and/or their parents can appeal to the governors against the expulsion, if this appeal to the governors fails to reinstate the pupil then a further appeal can be made to an appeals board (which sits on the behalf of the Local Education Authority). A governor is an official who heads the government of a colony, state or other sub-national state unit. ...

Appeals to the governors In the UK system the parents of the excluded pupil are entitled to appeal against the exclusion to the school governors. In addition to the appeals against permanent exclusions the parents can appeal against a fixed-term exclusion which is more than a length of time set down in law (five days). A panel of the governors are required to hear the case and act as a court, the pupil and the parent can appeal against the exclusion either adjudging that the excluded pupil was not responsible for the act for which they are being excluded for or that the punishment is disproportionate. The panel are not legally able to exclude a pupil or to extend a term of exclusion, the panel can however reduce the length of an exclusion, convert a permanent one to a fixed term one or reverse the exclusion totally. In the United Kingdom, School Governors are the largest volunteer force in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards through their three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and monitoring and evaluating school performance (http://www. ...

Look up Punishment in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
Disproportionate may mean: Not in fair or equal terms; see proportionality. ...
The panel (of school governors (parent and staff governors) which can not include the headteacher) must meet no sooner than six days after the exclusion and no more than 15 days afteer the exclusion, this panel will hear evidence from the school which details the case for expulsion, the parents of the pupil whose future is being considered may also present evidence. The evidence can be oral evidence, written evidence or even physical evidence. For example if a pupil is accused of destroying a door, then the smashed door could be shown to the panel.
Hypothetical example of an excessive punishment For example if a pupil was caught telling a dirty joke to another pupil, while a blue joke might be a sexual offense which might be an act of sexual abuse it would be considered by the vast majority of teachers, parents and governors that the mere telling of a blue joke is unlikely to be a crime of sufficient gravity to warrant permanent exclusion.

A governor is an official who heads the government of a colony, state or other sub-national state unit. ...
Appeal to the local education authority If the appeal to the governors does not result in the pupil being allowed back into the school, then a new appeal to a panel of persons appointed by the local education authority can occur. The majority of the appeals that these panels hear are not against exclusions but are for the admission of pupils into schools. Although the local education authority are in theory obliged to provide education to a pupil under school leaving age (Year 11 and below), in practice (usually when the pupil is denied access to other schools and/or the pupil referral unit) the local education authority employ techniques such as appointing a single tutor for one lesson a week.

Independent Sector However in the independent school (UK) sector, a pupil can be ‘permanently excluded’ at the discretion of the Head, with the interest of the school taking precedence over the rights and interests of pupil and parent. This disregard for natural justice was the basis of the play "The Winslow Boy" which brings into question a system that seeks to protect its reputation at the cost of truth in carrying out an expulsion. Currently, if the matter is not a disciplinary issue, a Head will refer to an expulsion as “a requirement to withdraw”, and is “immediate and permanent”.[1] An independent school in the United Kingdom is a school relying, for all of its funding, upon private sources, so almost invariably charging school fees. ...

Mass expulsions in the UK independent sector occurred with some frequency during the 1970s as headmasters struggled to control outbreaks of drugs usage. For example, pupils at Oundle School may recall the entire school being summoned to assembly one afternoon to hear the headmaster, Dr BMW Trapnell, explain not only why he had to expel almost 10 boys for this offence, but also how none of these boys would subsequently be able to become chartered accountants. Bruce Dickinson is another example of an Oundle pupil expelled by the same headmaster. Oundle School is a famous public school located in the ancient market town of Oundle in Northamptonshire, England. ...

Distinction between Expulsion and Rustication Whereas expulsion from a UK independent school means permanent removal from the school, 'rustication' usually means removal from the school for the remainder of the current term.
Expulsion in the United States In the United States, students have found that they may be expelled, or involuntarily withdrawn, from their schools for many reasons. With public school safety becoming a major concern in modern day schools, it is much easier to be thrown out of public schools now than it was years ago. Depending on local school board jurisdiction, approval from that school's local school board may be required before a student can be expelled, as opposed to a suspension which may only require approval from the principal.
Reasons for expulsion from U.S. schools (California rules) Students will be withdrawn by their principals (US term for the headteacher of a school) for a variety of reasons, those listed in one source include [2] the following.

Poor attendance. Students are often expelled from school for truancy. In the United States, students under 18 (most states) are considered truants if they do not regularly attend school and can result in charges against the parents. Students under 18 who are expelled are usually sent to alternative schools. Students over 18 can go to alternative schools but do not have to be enrolled in school by most state laws. “Truant†redirects here. ...
