Understanding This Data
Rates are expressed as a percentage of total enrolment. A rate of 0% indicates that no suspensions or permanent exclusions were recorded in that year. Behaviour data does not capture the full context — pastoral support, inclusion-led approaches, and the local cohort all matter when interpreting these figures.
