Schools in Nottinghamshire permanently excluded 29 children and suspended pupils 6,188 times.
Across England, 3,928 children were permanently excluded from school in the 2020/21 academic year – about five in every 10,000.
The most common reason for permanent exclusions was persistent disruptive behaviour, and the second most common was physically assaulting another pupil.
The number of expelled pupils fell by 22 per cent from the year before, when there were 5,057 permanent exclusions.
However, suspensions increased by 13 per cent across England. In total 352,454 children were suspended from school in 2020/21, up from 310,733 the year before. This is the equivalent of 425 pupils per 10,000.
