Throwing out the kids

Over 2,000 children were suspended from schools in England last year for attacking fellow pupils and teachers.

The official Government figures show that 1,470 five-year-olds, 720 four-year-olds and 260 three-year-olds were either suspended or expelled in the past 12 months.

What are local schools on your patch doing to combat violent or disruptive children?

Also, use Freedom of Information powers to seek official suspension and expulsion figures from your local education authority.
