urgent ! want to deregister DD this morning

[spiderpig8]

I don't want to send my DD to school again after long running bullying and things coming to a head yesterday.I want to deregister my DD and have her grandparents educate her until we can get her into another school.
Can I legally deregister her without notice?Can I delegate HE to grandparents .Am I entitled to get her school records ? Do I need to inform the EWO ?

IF you're in England, no need to give notice. You simply use the form letter on the Education Otherwise site:

here

The only people you need to inform are the school. You do not need to tell them exactly who will be doing the education.

no idea about the records, I'm afraid. You definitely don't need to inform the ewo

If you're in scotland, it's slightly different.

bumping relevant thread for you...

you aren't obliged to inform the EWO but if you want to help other children at the school your child has now left you should do so. You simply tell them what you have done and why.

I don't know for definite about school records, but I know when I asked DD's secondary for her work, so I could see what she had been doing and move on from there, they said they would send it to the next school but not release it to a home educator.

Whether they had a right to do this or not, I never knew, but we never managed to get them.

Yes here's all the info about school records.

What to do
Write to the Chair of the Governors of your child?s school.
See guideline letter. (Retain a copy for your records)
The school has 15 school days in which to comply with your request.
When you view or receive copies of the records, make a list of everything
you see or receive. If you view the records in school when you go
home copy this list and send 2 copies to the Headteacher with a letter
requesting that one copy is signed and returned to you as confirmation
that this is an accurate list of ALL the information the school has on your
child?s records.
Whilst looking through the files you may decide that you wish to have
a copy of all or some of the contents. You can ask the school to provide
this. The school may charge you for photocopying but this should not
be at a rate higher than generally expected to pay for photocopying
elsewhere.
