Schools in Southwark will not exclude students for behaving badly, according to council documents.
Secondary schools in the south London borough will agree to keep disruptive children, unless they put another child's safety at risk. Southwark Council is said to be the first local authority in the UK to have schools sign up to such an agreement.It also found academies would exclude more children than other schools.
A separate report, also from the council, found that black students in Southwark were 1.5 times more likely to be excluded than their white counterparts.Councillors hope the borough will be the first in England to exclude no pupils in the coming years, according to the Teachers will be encouraged to try to understand the reason for bad behaviour by using a "trauma-informed" response and are being told not to take misbehaviour at "face value".
