The school’s philosophy, a supportive and stable school environment, and strong relationships between the school and parents are important factors in preventing very young children from being excluded from school, according to a report published today by Ofsted.

Very few schools exclude children aged under seven, but some do. The report The exclusion from school of children aged four to seven reveals that teaching young children how to behave well and how to get on with each other, coupled with effective management of minor disruptive behaviour were key to reducing or avoiding the use of such exclusions.
