The number of permanently excluded pupils was 34 in 473 schools. The number suspended for just one day was 322 in 473 schools.
So over 90% of schools never had to permanently exclude a pupil. And over a third of schools never had to even exclude a pupil for one day in an entire year.
This hardly suggests a breakdown in discipline.
