Whoops! You're in big trouble and have been excluded - what are your rights? What does exclusion mean? A few years ago two words were used one was suspension which meant you were told to stay away from school for a set number of days and expulsion which meant you were never to return. Now only one word is used and that is exclusion. It can be temporary (suspended) or permanent (expelled). Hope that's clear. Who can exclude me? Only your head teacher can exclude you and if you're under 18 will have to put the reasons for the decision in writing, together with how long the exclusion is for and the right of your parent to make representations to the governing body or local education authority. If you miss out on the opportunity of taking a public exam because you're on temporary or permanent exclusion, the head teacher has to inform the governing body or local education authority of the length of the exclusion. With a bit of luck, they may let you be reinstated. A temporary exclusion is usually for one to three days and definitely can't be for more than 45 days. However, it's not going to be a holiday! If you're excluded for more than a couple of days, your head teacher will have you working at home until you're allowed back at school. Beware! For a serious breach of school discipline, you may be permanently excluded. What can your parents do? They can discuss the matter with your head teacher, write to the Chair of the governing body and if they're still not satisfied, make representations to the local education authority. Who Can Help?
