The number of children suspended from primary school for physically assaulting staff is at its highest for a decade.
30% of the 535 pupils excluded from Kirklees primary schools in 2014/2015 had assaulted staff.
There were also 12 permanent exclusions of primary pupils in Kirklees - its highest level for at least nine years.
A Kirklees Council spokeswoman said: “The reported rise in permanent exclusions reflects national and regional trends.
“In Kirklees over the 2014/15 period the number of children permanently excluded equated to 0.06% of the school population.’
“This is below the national average of 0.07% as stated in the recently published Statistical First Release from the DfE.’
“The number of fixed term exclusions for racist abuse remains low, accounting for 1% of Kirklees fixed term exclusions which is in line with both the national and regional averages.”
