My child seems to be continually getting into trouble at school and has received a number of fixed period exclusions. What happens next?
A. Such pupils are putting themselves at serious risk of permanent exclusion. It is probable that the school has already identified your child’s behaviour problems and a strategy has been prepared. This strategy could be a Pastoral Support Programme, which is a planned intervention to help individual pupils better to manage their behaviour, following agreed approaches, understood by the pupil and all the staff involved with him/her and involving you as parents. Should the proposed interventions not be effective, it is likely that your child could be permanently excluded.
