The school exclusion reviews data collection is a statutory return that all local authorities submit to us every January. You must complete statutory data collections by law unless theres a good reason not to.

The data collection records the number and outcomes of all exclusion reviews that parents or guardians lodge (ask for) and that an independent review panel determines (decides) during the academic year.

It applies to:

  • schools and alternative provision (AP) settings maintained by the local authority
  • academies and free schools

AP settings are places that provide education for children who cannot go to a mainstream school.

Important dates

The 2024 data collection:

  • opens on 10 January 2024
  • closes on 31 January 2024

Submit your data

Youll need to:

  • register and log in with DfE Sign-in
  • use COLLECT to submit your data

Contact your school or local authority approver, if:

  • you want to request a DfE Sign-in username or password so you can access COLLECT
  • school exclusion reviews data is not on the list of collections you can see in COLLECT
