Lincolnshire Permanent Exclusions - Find a freedom of information request

Under the Freedom of Information Act (2000), I would like to know the following:

 

I would like to ask for the following figures for the 2023-24, 2022-23 and 2021-22 academic years. Please break the figures down into each year:

 

1) How many pupils were permanently excluded in your schools in these years? 



Councils have a legal duty to arrange suitable full-time education for excluded pupils from the sixth school day after their exclusion took place.



2) Please can you tell me how many of these pupils were *not* in full-time education from the sixth day of their exclusion? 



3) What was the average length of time to place a child in suitable full-time education in each year? 



4) What was the longest wait recorded for an excluded child to receive suitable full-time education for each year? 



5) For children not in full-time education after the sixth day, please can you provide a table showing what sort of education they were being provided? (ie, none, online tutoring, etc) 

I can confirm that some of the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.  
 
1. How many pupils were permanently excluded in your schools in these years?
20/21 - 81
21/22 - 119
22/23 - 226
23/24 - 244 

2-5. Section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information 2000 does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit is currently £450 or 18 hours at a cost of £25 per hour.

The exemption under section 12 is not subject to the public interest test

Any refined request will be treated as a new request under the Freedom of Information Act.
