History on Loop

"History on Loop", published by the Runnymede Trust, looks at the continuing disparity in school exclusions and the impact on life outcomes.

"The data we’ve gathered over the years paints a stark picture of who is most affected by exclusion policies. Black students consistently represent the largest proportion of our cases, ranging between 45 per cent and 50 per cent annually. Mixed-heritage students account for approximately 20–25 per cent, while Asian students make up a smaller segment, typically 5–10 per cent. The gender disparity is equally striking, with male students comprising approximately 60–65 per cent of excluded cases, compared with 30–35 per cent for female students. A particularly alarming trend is the high prevalence of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) among those excluded”.
