My DD started reception in September at a local state primary. The school was truly awful in so many ways so we decided not to send DD back after the Christmas break and, due to the lack of alternative state places, have moved her to a local independent school. I emailed the school on the first day of term to let them know she would not be returning, and also contacted the local authority to relinquish her state place.
However, the school keep hassling me to give them the details of the new school my DD is attending. They say they have paperwork that needs to be forwarded and also need the details for their records. They keep saying that they will report us to the local authority and DD is now a "missing from education" child. This is rubbish though as DD is only 4 so not even of compulsory school age yet. They are refusing to send the paperwork directly to me so as far as I am concerned they can shred it all.
Am I obliged to give them the details of the new school, and do they really have any worthwhile paperwork to forward on? I really would prefer a clean break without them knowing where DD has gone, if possible.
