(1)Numbers of exclusion reasons in this table will not add up to the number of exclusion reasons in table 20 showing the numbers of pupil/staff combined exclusion reasons. To achieve comparability in table 20 with 2006/07 figures, exclusion reasons have only been counted once if a combination of staff and pupil reason of the same type had been recorded for the same incident.
(2) Data not available for 58 removals from register in Glasgow where reasons for exclusion were not specified.
