In October 2016 **Laurence Cawley and Daniel Wainwright** [reported](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37340042) that the number of pupils expelled from schools in some parts of England had risen by more than 300% in three years.

The story was based on the latest government figures, [covering the period 2014-15](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/permanent-and-fixed-period-exclusions-in-england-2014-to-2015)
