Awaiting Data
Across Greenwich: suspensions by reason

- Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
- Suspensions for bullying: 4 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)

- Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)
These are figures for all state primary schools in Greenwich, 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.
