Abstract

This article begins with a cursory discussion on rates and causes of school exclusion as well as curriculum initiatives intended to minimise exclusion risks and improve school attendance. Focus is then placed upon an evaluation of an innovative programme designed to provide support to those at risk of exclusion from secondary schools. Consideration is given to recent government thinking and initiatives intended to help schools to reduce rates of disaffection, truancy and exclusion. The implications of these initiatives for those who have – and others at risk of developing – an identified special educational need are also considered.
