Educational Outcomes for Scotland's Looked After Children 2010/11
This document is the second in a series of an annual summary of the educational outcomes of Scotland's looked after children.
Table 4 shows that the overall exclusion rate for looked after children was 326 per 1,000 looked after children, compared with 40 exclusions per 1,000 pupils for all school children. This is a fall from 365 exclusions per 1,000 looked after children and 45 exclusions per 1,000 pupils for all school children in 2009/10, which is a drop of 39 per 1,000 compared to the previous academic year for looked after children.
Please note that exclusion rates in table 4 are based on the number of exclusions, not the number of children excluded (i.e. a child who is excluded more than once during the school year will be multiple counted).
