Hello and welcom to episode 45 of the Unlearn Something pod!
Today, Miss S and Miss D talk about the topic of school exclusions, the DfE stats and what this means.
Racism in schools saw 15,191 pupils suspended in the 2023 - 24 academic year, more than doubled the 7,403 recorded in 2021. - with children as young as four being suspended. We talk about our experiences and what we think should happen in schools and how we should support children and young people at risk of exclusion from schools.
Join us for the conversation!
