Jim Shannon – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Shannon on 2015-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many sexual offences have taken place in schools in each of the last five years.

Edward Timpson

The department does not hold information on the number of sex attacks that take place in schools.

The closest information we do hold is the number of pupils excluded due to sexual misconduct. However, this may not cover all sex attacks and would not include those committed by non-pupils.
