Low English & Maths outcomes for pupils that have been "managed moved"
Just 17 per cent of pupils who leave schools via “managed moves” - where pupils are moved in an arrangement between schools without a formal exclusion – go on to pass their English and maths GCSEs, according to new analysis.
However more pupils moved in this way are likely to achieve a grade 4 or above in those subjects than those who are permanently excluded (six per cent), according to the analysis by FFT Education Datalab.
Both outcomes are well below the national average of 64 per cent.
"Managed moves" are voluntary arrangements entered into between two schools, with the agreement of parents and pupils. Pupils at risk of exclusion join a new school, including pupil referral units and alternative provision academies or free schools, for a trial period and, if successful, are formally admitted to the new school. Many local authorities have a formal process or protocol for schools to follow.
