School is not informing me about my child's progress

Recently split up with partner. They have moved over 2 hours away. Ds has started new primary school. Ex wouldn't even tell me name of school. I heard it in passing and old school informed me as well.

I emailed them twice to tell them I have PR. All the government responsiblities. But no reply. I called up too.. Receptionist was being dismissive. Like as if there was a red flag as soon as I mentioned my son's name. She got defensive and like sorry can't talk to you. I followed up with an email requesting involvement.

No response.

Do they not have an obligation?
Has my ex told them I'm abusive, etc?
Can she restrict me from bring involved or informed?
Do I have to walk into the school or summit?

Before they moved out, I did email the new school saying I have pr and I don't consent to the new school. I've read both with pr have to consent. (wasn't sure if ex had lied). But still no reply.

I suspect that what we’re seeing here is the real OP.

A man who calls his dc “the child”, whose ex felt she had to move hours away and not even tell him which school he is at, and who is only interested in updates from the school ‘out of principle’ rather than caring about his child.

Not sure why the OP was pretending to be a woman and mother on other threads.

Or he's using his ex-wife's account and didn't realise that previous posts would be found.

Maybe the school think something sounds off.

It certainly does on here.

The oddest thing is that the OP has previously posted as a woman and referred to her husband, yet here the OP appears to be a man talking about splitting from a woman. So strange.

Yes, that doesn't make any sense.
Which way round is it @LifeOnAmber?

FreshInks · 08/03/2026 22:59

If he is using his ex wife’s account, that would be incredibly creepy.

I don’t think it is though as the female version of the OP said they were a new parent about 15 months ago, which would mean this version of OP couldn’t have a school age child.

WallaceinAnderland · 08/03/2026 23:01

my husband stayed in the car as the 15 month old was asleep and the 4 year old didn't wanna go in.

The female version does have a school age child. I think he's using his ex wife's account.

Not the job worth pointless posters on here. Say something useful.
Think some of the dimwitted (...)

Aren't you just lovely. No wonder she's fucked off far away,

The female version said she was a new mum in December 2024. So even the female version wasn’t being truthful.

FreshInks · 08/03/2026 23:18

December 2024- “As a new parent.. I've never thought about all the policies at work for leave”

WallaceinAnderland · 08/03/2026 23:23

Something doesn't add up that's for sure. I'm guessing OP won't be back to clarify.

FreshInks · 08/03/2026 23:24

Yes, I think you’re right.

Probably too busy donning his Batman outfit for a night hanging out on his nearest suspension bridge.

He definitely sounds like he would fit in well with that group of men

Have you contacted the court/mediation this morning?

Or are you the type of father who enjoys making a show out of your "rights" but not interested in doing the work?

FreshInks · 09/03/2026 16:02

OP sent me a message telling me to ‘get a life’. His masculinity is so fragile he can’t cope with being challenged by a woman.

Report him/her, people aren't meant to send private messages like that. It's pretty embarrassing for him/her 😄

WallaceinAnderland · 09/03/2026 16:12

OP is pissed off because he was rumbled 😂

FreshInks · 09/03/2026 17:17

yes, definitely!

Oh, I'm disappointed.
He hasn't sent me a PM.
Not even a rude one.
🤣

FreshInks · 09/03/2026 20:13

It’s such a low effort insult too. Lack of effort appears to be a common theme in his life
