Question
Will the Minister confirm the number of pupils excluded from primary and secondary schools on a temporary and permanent basis for breaking coronavirus rules, and what proportion of total exclusions does this represent, broken down by local authority?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
The Welsh Government does not hold data on the exclusions of pupils from a primary, secondary or any other type of school for a breach of Coronavirus (COVID-19) rules.
Such exclusions could be recorded under the 'OT' code by schools to mean “other reason for exclusion”. However, we cannot determine which of these are for breaking coronavirus rules.
