For schools in England, this update introduces a formal process for cancelling exclusions in accordance with the latest statutory guidance. Headteachers now have the ability to withdraw or rescind an exclusion before the governing board reviews reinstatement, ensuring that schools follow the correct procedures when managing exclusions.

Key Changes

• Cancellation Process: Headteachers can now cancel an exclusion at any point before the governing board meets to consider reinstatement.
• Limitations: A permanent exclusion cannot be cancelled if the pupil has exceeded or will exceed 45 school days of exclusion within the current academic year.
• Attendance Register Impact: Schools should review how attendance marks are handled upon cancellation to ensure consistency with DfE guidance.

This update enhances transparency and compliance by ensuring exclusions are managed in accordance with statutory regulations. For further guidance, please refer to the official DfE School Exclusions documentation: School Exclusion Guidance.
