Suspension (Fixed Period Exclusion)
What happens when the Suspension is finished?
Schools should have a strategy for reintegrating pupils following suspension and this may take the form of a reintegration meeting. This could be with the head of year and provides the opportunity to work together to look at strategies to avoid future suspensions. You may wish to discuss additional support for your child.
If your child has a disability this should be taken into account when making the decision to suspend, as schools are under a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that children who have a disability are not placed at a disadvantage to other pupils who don’t under the Equality Act 2010. Disability discrimination claims have to be made within 6 months of the suspension.
