School to tell me about meetings with my kids?

[Ummfee]

I found out my childrens headteacher had held meetings with them about their fathers private life. We are divorced and he secretly remarried. I am their legal guardian. Does the school have to inform me or get my consent about this?

If their father has PR, then probably not, no. Sorry.

No he doesn't. I have no idea how the school found ou but they did not long after my kids found out they had a step mum and sister.

Sounds odd

Secret meetings ? What was the aim of them?

please define 'meetings' your op is very vague - if you mean the teacher asked them about it that's one thing - if there was a meeting with lots of people that's another...

Yes, I think more info is needed here op

The Headteacher took my son into her office to question him about his fathers 'secret marriage' This is exactly how she worded it.
My question is simply is she allowed to do that without the consent of myself (their legal guardian)

From what you're say it's hard to see why she'd do that. Seems completely unprofessional.

That sounds like a very strange thing to do. I can't imagine a HT phrasing a question like that, do you know how the rest of the conversation went or what the purpose of it was ?

Is this a state school in the UK?

Not sure..... Why would she? How old is your dc?

I wouldn't get too upset about it really, maybe she wanted to know if the stepmother was going to be involved in dropping/off picking him up from school in the future.

I'm sure it's nothing sinister.

Do you know what she asked exactly? All you've said was she questioned him.

umfee - I see you've posted about this issue before, are you still concerned about the original chat or has the head recently revisited the conversations?
