It is pretty clear cut.
They have a right of access as they do have PR.
The school could consider an objection to this right from the other parent, but without grounds to withhold (that would stand up) the information should be released.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2011/1942/made clearly covers it for Wales and I have not seen anything recently to alter this, under GDPR or otherwise.
Are you looking for possible objections or considerations that the school might need to consider and manage?

Subject: [data-protection] Parental Responsibility and distant Parent
Would welcome any views on the following:
Child 12 years old - lives with Parent A.
Parent B is a distant parent - having no involvement in everyday life issues.
Parent B wishes to access child school data/records.
What are you thoughts on Parent B's right/entitlement given that they do have PR? but are not involved in the life of the child, nor the life of Parent A.
