Parents have the right to see this information under The Education (Pupil
Information) (England) Regulations 2000. However I believe that this does
not apply to Independent schools, you will have to use DP subject Access.
The act applies to
(a) a school maintained by a local education authority; and
(b) a special school which is not so maintained.
So parents of pupils at Independent schools have less rights than their
state school counterparts.

Parents have a statutory right to see pupil's educational records
outwith DP - I don't know the English reference, but it is the Pupil's
Educational Records (Scotland) Regulations 2003 for us. I think the
report would probably be considered part of the educational record....

Subject: [data-protection] Disclosing school reports
I have been asked a question by the head of an independant school. She
is writing reports about children who are applying for places at senior
schools. Parents are wanting to see the reports sometimes but she
doesn't feel that she can be so frank if she knows the parents will see
the report. Does she
have to reveal all or can any confidentialityissues be considered. My
opinion was she should make sure the information is accurate and even if
bland, could be shown to the parents on request. Any one else have any
thoughts?
Many thanks
