Education department figures show 470 were barred for racism and 250 for unacceptable sexual behaviour.

All were at primary school, so some may have been just five — and none were older than 11.

They include a pupil in Tameside, Gtr Manchester, who was suspended for racist behaviour in year one — no older than six.

The Department for Education said: “Such incidents are rare.

“But it is right that racist behaviour or sexual incidents are taken very seriously."
