Education other than at school

Model exclusion letters and documents

In the documents table below you will find the model letters and documents that every school should use when excluding a pupil (either for a fixed term or permanent exclusion). These letters will ensure that you are complying with the new legislation in respect of exclusion and have been taken from the Department for Education website. The letters came into effect in October 2011.

We hope that you will find them helpful.
