Behaviour
Typical record 2025/26
Reading the numbers: higher figures below often mean a school records thoroughly and takes concerns seriously, rather than more incidents happening. A school reporting unusually low figures sometimes has a reporting gap rather than a problem-free intake. If a figure stands out, it's worth asking the school how it records.
- Data year: 2025/26
- Bullying incidents: 5
- Physical aggression / violence incidents: 10
- Child protection referrals: 20
- Safeguarding concerns: 10
- Racist incidents: 5
- Suspensions (fixed-term exclusions): 0
- Permanent exclusions: 0
