A Non-inclusive school means

• children are likely to have poor mental health
  • higher risk of suicide and self-harm
  • increased use of alcohol and drugs
  • elevated levels of depression
  • lower self esteem and self worth
• significant problems in later life
  • poor relationships
  • limited career choices
  • poorer physical health
• more recorded incidents of bullying
  • inability to focus and concentrate
  • poorer grades and academic achievement
  • negative influence on further education choices
• low levels of pupil engagement
• poor relationships with parents and carers
  • negative impact on school’s reputation
  • lower levels of support from the community
  • increased staff stress levels
  • declining numbers of pupils on roll

The school is more likely to be judged as having “serious weaknesses” in an Ofsted inspection.
