Behaviour

Awaiting Data

Across County Durham: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 31 (0.4 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.9)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 1
  • Suspensions for bullying: 38 (0.5 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.0)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 7 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.4)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state schools in County Durham, 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.
