School Staff (Assaults)

Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many assaults on school staff were recorded in each local education authority in the last year for which figures are available; and what each figure represents in terms of assaults on staff per thousand pupils. [83989]

Jim Knight [holding answer 10 July 2006]: The number of assaults on school staff is not collected centrally.

For the academic year 2004/05, information is available on the reasons for pupil exclusions. These reasons include “physical assault against an adult”. A local authority breakdown of the number of pupils who have been excluded from school (permanently or for a fixed period) for physical assault against an adult, together with total numbers of exclusions, is given in the following table.
