According to a recent YouGov poll, nearly 50% of the teaching profession wants stronger enforcement of accountability for schools who exclude children to improve their league-table rankings. Source: @tes - buff.ly/2QBJ1TV
(TW: Self-harm) A zero-tolerance approach to exclusions of children in possession of blades may be leading to schools excluding vulnerable students, including those carrying blades to self-harm. Source: @tes - buff.ly/2zMgjII
Teachers are speaking out against budget cuts that may lead to the closure of PRUs in North Yorkshire - "The severe damage would be to the students themselves, many of whom are the most vulnerable in the area" - buff.ly/2AdnKJh
John Roberts writes for @tes to discuss how a £5.5m high-needs funding shortfall as well as a surge in exclusions may lead North Yorkshire County Council to shut down PRUs - buff.ly/2KqvImM
In Coventry, increasing numbers of students are reportedly facing exclusion for using and supplying drugs, alcohol and cigarettes - “These are often troubled children who, without the right support in place will never go on to fulfil their potential" - buff.ly/2BrCcir

Pamela Dow questions the concept of the 'school to prison pipeline', asking the question of whether exclusions can in fact be a diversion from, rather than the track to, prison. Read here on the @tes website: buff.ly/2T16TSq
A special thank you to our past and present volunteers, without you the Project would not be able to function! 🙌
Thank you @DavidLammy for highlighting this troubling statistic. The consequences of exclusions (especially where unfair or unlawful) can be grave.
Thank you @DavidLammy for highlighting this troubling statistic. The consequences of exclusions (especially where unfair or unlawful) can be grave.
A shame unlawful exclusions only hit the press when they concern privileged students though @SchoolExProject theguardian.com/education/2017…
Shocked to see this- grounds for exclusion should be behaviour related, not academic. theguardian.com/education/2017… Need help? ➡️@SchoolExProject
