Girls are being informally excluded at a higher rate than boys from some schools in England, according to a study by not-for-profit group Social Finance.
While boys are much more likely to be formally excluded, research shows girls are being excluded through moves to other schools or by leaving one school before the end of year 11 and not finishing their studies elsewhere. Their experiences are invisible as they are not included in official school exclusion statistics.
We’d like to hear from girls – or their parents – if they have been informally excluded in this way from a school in England.
