The weakening of influence and resources of local education authorities, the rise of academies and the intensifying of racism and racist attacks following the EU referendum has led to a rise of exclusions from schools of some of Britain’s most vulnerable communities. In this Education and Social Justice (ESJ) Keynote Lecture, Chris Searle will consider the situation regarding exclusions in his home city of Sheffield and its relevance to other British cities.
