PUPILS as young as four are being excluded from Peterborough primary schools for abusing their teachers and classmates, alarming new figures have revealed.
A total of 43 fixed period exclusions have been made on children aged between four and eight at city schools in the past three years - between September 2006 and August 2009.
Pupils were excluded for physically and verbally abusing adults, other pupils and, in one instance between September 2007 and August 2008, a pupil was permanently expelled for physically abusing a teacher.
