All the pupils suspended from school in Bexley as number reaches record high
Briefly

'This increase in suspensions mirrors what we are hearing from schools about a rise in challenging pupil behaviour since the pandemic. That is partly associated with the pandemic itself and the sense among some pupils that normal rules no longer apply, but it is also more deeply-seated in deteriorating mental health, unmet special educational needs, lack of funding and erosion of family support services over a longer period. It is putting huge pressure on school leaders and staff.'
'Early intervention is the key to preventing behaviour issues spiralling to the point of suspensions and exclusions. But doing that requires a commitment on the part of the Government to sufficient investment in schools and local services. That is sadly lacking at present.'
