The procedure is quite complicated, but it is down to the school governors to exclude a child, temporarily or permanently. A headteacher has powers to exclude for a short period (I think it's three days) but beyond that, the governors have to be involved, either a full governing body or a committee. As a governor, I once had to permanently exclude a five-year-old because he was so disruptive! You cannot just send children home, as there may well not be anyone there to take care of them. You can call the parents (if you can find them) and ask them to remove the child.
