“Internal exclusion is happening every day in classrooms across England, yet it is largely hidden from view. We know that it can provide an effective short-term solution for teachers dealing with disruption in their class who want to create the conditions for all pupils to thrive. But our findings show that it is disproportionately applied to young people most in need of support, and leads to lost learning, weaker connections with teachers, and in some cases poorer mental health.”
