These are extremely worrying findings. We at Agenda Alliance are calling for a zero tolerance to harmful behaviour policies which blight girls' futures. We know schools do a tough job and that teachers are hard-pressed. But by the government's own measure, girls at the sharpest end of disadvantage are being set up to fail. Racial and gender stereotypes have no place in today's education for young women. Enough is enough. No more excuses that poverty also inevitably jeopardises education. We can and must- do better than this.
Exclusions have also disproportionately affected Gypsy and Roma schoolgirls, who have been consistently excluded at a considerably higher rate than white British girls over the past four years (2018 - 2022). Rates of suspension - temporary exclusions - are also considerably higher among all ethnic minority groups.
