The available information is shown in the table.
The first year for which information on exclusions from pupil referral units is available relates to the 2003/04 academic year. Data on exclusions from pupil referral units were collected retrospectively via the Termly Exclusions Survey. Exclusions data for 2004/05 academic year were published in June 2006.
The Termly Exclusions Survey has now discontinued so data on exclusions from Pupil Referral Units in 2005/06 are not available.
