Children who attacked teachers or other pupils, or who were disruptive, were excluded from English schools on more than 80,000 occasions last year.
But the rate of permanent exclusions fell by 19.4 per cent in 2008-09.
Official figures show that more than 63,000 secondary school pupils were suspended for bad behaviour while 17,000 primary youngsters were excluded for a fixed period.
The statistics, from the Department of Education (DFE) showed that 320 pupils under 11 and 1,450 secondary pupils were expelled from school.
The most common reason for exclusion was persistent disruptive behaviour.

Teenagers on Merseyside have helped put together an education pack for schools to use to tackle hate crime.
They've been working with Project Triangle, run by Liverpool's Homotopia group and have won the support of Merseyside Police and teaching union the NUT.
The pack includes anti-bullying information and talks about the death of Michael Causer, who campaigners say was murdered in a homophobic attack.

Fancy Dress Day
Get your whole school or workplace to ditch their usual uniform in favour of Fancy Dress, Who doesn't want to be a princess or Spider-Man for a day? Ask anyone ditching their usual uniform to make a donation to Bullying UK. Just £1 is usually a great donation to ask for and you could hold a competition for the best fancy dress.
Bake it Blue
Time to get your hands yummy! Why not make a cake and sell slices to raise money for Bullying UK? If you use blue icing your cake will represent the colour that represents bullying awareness. Don't forget the napkins. OmNomNom!
Silent Day
Can you stay silent for an entire day? Many young people lose their voice when it comes to speaking up that they are being bullied. Help to raise awareness by having a Silent Day. Ask your friends to sponsor you for every hour you manage to not utter a word to anyone.
Competition Day
Organise a Competition Day around sport, video games or anything else you can think of. Ask teams to make a donation as their entry fee and award a small prize to the winners. Friendly competition can be a great way to create new friendships, win or loose.
An easy way to collect your donations is to use JustGiving. You can set up a donation page and then ask everyone to donate via your JustGiving Page, you can see a total of how much you have raised so far.
