- Thousands are sent home for verbal abuse or threatening behaviour
- 120 pupils expelled for assaulting classmates and 200 for assaulting staff
- Department of Education figures reveal statistics for 2011/12 school year
Nearly 50 primary school pupils are being sent home every day for attacking teachers and other staff, disturbing figures reveal.
The number has soared more than 10 per cent in one year, heightening concerns about a breakdown in discipline. When attacks on fellow pupils are included, the figure rises to 100 exclusions a day.
Children aged five to 11 were already more likely to assault adults than secondary school pupils, but the gulf has continued to widen.
Official statistics show that 8,830 primary school children were excluded in 2011/12 – 200 of them permanently. This was up from 8,030 the previous year.
Graham Stuart, the Tory chairman of the Commons’ education select committee, said the figures were ‘shocking’. He added: ‘It suggests a serious deterioration in discipline and behaviour in primary schools which needs to be fully investigated.
‘It raises questions not only about how schools are run but also about what’s going on in the community from which they come.’
Philip Davies, the Tory MP for Shipley, added: ‘When you see how some parents treat teachers then there’s little wonder why children follow suit. Perhaps we need to do more to make parents responsible for the actions of their children.’
