An exclusion would have been recorded in the school log book. Also when the child left the school it would probably record something. Also visits to the school by someone such as an educational psychologist. These would not have said much only perhaps something like,
“X was excluded for X days for X.
Reports would have been written about X but they wouldn’t have been recorded in the school log book. They would have been shared with the receiving school and discussed to a degree with the parents. How much discussion went on with the parents in the 60s is difficult to say.
The school may still have it’s school log book but whether they will let you see it is a different matter. Some will say there is a 50 year closure and some a 100 years. Some might be kind enough to copy a specific entry for the person involved and some may do this for a family member.
The person involved is more likely to get a response than a family member.
