Pupil discipline and behaviour

Exclusion

The Board offers assistance to headteachers and governors in dealing with exclusions. The Board recognises that exclusion is normally a last resort in the disciplinary process. Schools should follow the DfE Guidance - Improving Behaviour and Attendance - Guidance on Exclusion from Schools and Pupil Referral Units. Click here to link to the DfE guidance.

Pupil discipline and behaviour statement

Governing bodies must agree a statement of general principles which underpin the school's behaviour policy. Guidance on this is available from the DCSF.

The Board has produced a model discipline statement for schools to adapt for their own use.
