Behaviour

Awaiting Data

Across Birmingham: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 21 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 2
  • Suspensions for bullying: 38 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 4 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Birmingham, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.
