Reduce the number of permanent and fixed term exclusions and increase attendance rates

Our Ambition - All exclusion rates will be at least in line or better than national rates. Overall attendance rates will increase, particularly in secondary schools, and will be in line with or better than national averages.

Reduce the number of permanent and fixed term exclusions and increase attendance rates:

in 2015 to 2016 there were 24 permanent exclusions in primary schools and 89 in secondary schools
primary exclusion rate = 0.05 (national = 0.02)
secondary exclusion rate = 0.24 (national = 0.17)

Pupils receiving one or more fixed period exclusion:

primary = 0.54% (national = 0.56%)
secondary = 2.77% (national = 4.26%)

Attendance rates 2015-2016:

primary = 96.1% (national = 96.0%)
secondary = 94.5% (national = 94.8%)
