Hi my ex and myself both have pr rights as we were both present at the registration of their birth certificates after 2003, my ex lied to police regarding domestic violence, and that she is scared of me, I have proof that this is not so, I have pleaded to my ex but she is just being difficult, I pay maintenance regular, and have my girls every other Sunday for the day, I wish to be a part of my girls education and things, but their mum refuses to tell me what school they go, my daughter has told me, and I have contacted the school by phone and email, can the school refuse to allow this without the mums permission, as I would of prefered this but she is being very difficult, can someone please advise.
Hi There,
.
I know when I wanted info from my childs school they had a duty of care to inform/get permision from my ex, I think it is what all schools would do as they won't know the full details, I'm sure there must be something you can do if your ex deny's the authority, though unfortunetely I don't know which path you would have to take. Hopefully someone will be able to advise you further.

Hi,
The school is legally obliged to give you every information on your child as long as PR is valid.
Your local council (education department) should provide you with details on which school they attend. You'll have to attach a copy of their original birth certificate in your letter.
Think the council might contact her just in case but If she still refuses to authorise the information release, it then goes to the council's legal team to access the situation and would most likely release the information as requested.
Thank you very much for you answer, as I already know what school she goes it was far easier to just straight contact the head teacher regarding this issue, but reply said he would need to seek her first, which is understandable, so you are correct, I was just trying to establish if she was to say no, what if any my options were, I have had advise regarding this and I am under the impression that I have full rights to this information, but as you can guess,y ex wont play ball, and creates many lies which allows her to milk the state and myself. But that's another issue lol, but kind regards. If anyone has anything which would assist further I would be much appreciative if you have anything further.
