Can I add another twist to this one as the other debate seems to be faltering?

I have been asked as an independent DP Advisor whether an estranged parent can access their estranged child’s educational records (Primary School) in Scotland as well as school reports.

Searching through the ICO site does not give me any indication whether this may be done but I am minded to advise the requestor (mother) that she should contact the school to request a denial on behalf of her child.

Any thoughts?
