Bradford School Exclusions Team

Bradford School Exclusions Team Bradford’s exclusions team is made up of three officers that advise on exclusion from school. Please ring or email for impartial advice on anything to do with your child’s exclusion. Our role is:

• to make sure that the government’s exclusion guidance is followed to minimise disruption to a pupil’s education;
• to advise school staff, parents or carers, governors and professionals and others seeking support on the exclusion process;
• to support schools to use alternatives to exclusion, such as a managed move, look at behaviour as communication and consider underlying needs that develops support and provision captured within documents such as, my support plan (MSP), or pastoral support plans (PSP), phased reintegration/partial-timetables and referrals to other supporting services where appropriate;
• to provide training to those involved in the exclusion process;
• to support clerks to the governing board;
• to monitor all exclusions from maintained schools and academies, and produce data for reporting purposes to the government; and
• to attend governor meetings related to a permanent exclusions at maintained schools and as an observer at academy schools should parent or carer wish us to attend.
