The decision was taken by the head teacher of Broadwater C of E First and Middle School, Janet Sharp, and will be reviewed by the school's governers.

A statement from the school, in Rectory Gardens, said: "We confirm that a pupil has been excluded from the school.

"A decision to exclude any pupil is taken in response to serious breaches of a school's behaviour policy.

"We cannot comment further on this case as school governors have yet to review the head teacher's decision, following which there may be a further right of independent appeal."
