Awaiting Data
Across North Northamptonshire: suspensions by reason

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