Behaviour

Awaiting Data

Across Warwickshire: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 84 (2.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.7)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 1
  • Suspensions for bullying: 60 (1.5 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.9)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 16 (0.4 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.8)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state secondary schools in Warwickshire (the council area this school is in), 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.
