School not being forthcoming with vital information - do I perservere or take the Data Protection Act route?

I need the minutes of an illegal interview carried out upon my daughter by a school. (Not one she currently attends, if that makes a difference).

I asked for the minutes repeatedly last week but unsurprisingly have got nowhere. I'm beyond caring if I piss the school off, but need to know whether it might be quicker to continue to demand the minutes and cc my MP into each email until the school capitulates or whether I should just send a Data Protection subject access request. I'm concerned that if I send a DP request there may be procedures which the school will conveniently decide to go through or even need to take and that this will make access to the minutes take even longer.

Has anyone any idea of how schools handle a DP request please, so I can decide which is the best way forward?

Thank you.

That is brilliant news Valhalla. Well done for persevering. I am really pleased for you and your DD. I hope she settles into RB.

Thank you for keeping us updated. I had been wondering how you were getting on.
