Your child’s school is not allowed to just send your child home ‘to cool off’ because of their behaviour. This is an ‘informal’ or ‘unofficial’ suspension. A child can only be suspended through the formal suspension process, which is described in this guidance, which includes notifying parents in writing. If your child has been removed from the school without the formal suspension process being followed, you should discuss this with the head teacher in the first instance. You should follow the school’s complaints procedure to complain to the governing board if you are not satisfied.
