The Home Office publishes data on the number of certified refusals for applications made by Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children in tables as_09 and as_09_q of immigration statistics April to June 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/638599/asylum3-apr-jun-2017-tables.ods

However, the number of those who are refused and certified, who are then removed from the UK is not recorded in a reportable format. Statistics on general asylum and non-asylum removals are available in table 02 of Immigration Statistics April to June 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/638602/returns1-apr-jun-2017-tables.ods
