Occasionally, but not in the usual sense of being expelled for doing something ‘naughty’. In Summerhill someone will only be asked to leave if their general attitude shows that they are not really interested in being part of the community. Continuous law-breaking, bullying on a regular basis, real violence — these are all things that may make the school decide to send them home for a while or indefinitely. Most pupils get several chances before they are asked to leave.
