New analysis released from 4in10: London’s Child Poverty Network and Just for Kids Law shows that children on free school meals (FSM) and Black Caribbean children are likely to be excluded from school at a much higher rate than their peers on average across London.
The report, ‘Race, Poverty and School Exclusions in London’ finds Black Caribbean children in London are nearly three times as likely to be excluded and children who are Mixed White and Caribbean are more than twice as likely. Children eligible for FSM were around three times more likely to be excluded.
