More than a million days of learning were lost last year after record numbers of children were suspended from school.

School suspensions have risen by a third compared to pre-pandemic levels, leading to fears of a deepening crisis in the UK's schools post-pandemic.

Teaching leaders say there is a national shortage of alternative forms of education for excluded pupils, as the rise in suspension puts unprecedented demand on the system

Sky News can also reveal that girls are being suspended from school at twice the national rate.
