Obtaining school information
FAQs
Who can get information from a school about their child’s progress?
When contact is restricted or completely stopped, a parent can still obtain information from their child’s school. This applies to all biological parents, not just those who have parental rights and responsibilities. If you haven’t been in contact with that school, start by sending a letter to the head teacher to introduce yourself and show that you are entitled to receive the information. See our guide for further information and letter templates.
