There is no limit on the number of times your child can be suspended, but schools must not suspend your child for more than a total of 45 school days in one school year. In circumstances where your child has reached the 45 school day limit in the current school year, the school cannot issue any further suspensions. They can only issue a permanent exclusion. School days when your child was permanently excluded also count towards the limit if they were later allowed to come back to the school.
