Advice please on confidential information

Hi, my daughter goes to a private school on 60%scholarship. During preparation of her UCAS application, the school released a very old teacher report to UCAS. The teacher report was prepared to justify the need for extra time but not actually a medical evidence. They released this information to UCAS under contextual reason without my daughter consent. This made my daughter look really unfit to study and caused a lot of stress. After discussion with the school they wrote a separate report to support her application to university showing how hard she is working. Not sure even if the universities even will look at it.
These cause a lot of stress to my daughter for nearly 6 months. I have asked not to pay the last term school fee as a compensation but they refused. Who is on the right? Should I pursue this further and if yes how?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

This sounds very odd, and I think you need to clarify with school what’s happened.
Schools don’t submit additional documentation to UCAS. If universities needed additional documentation, it would be requested from them direct - but at this stage they don’t care at all about extra time, so I’m not really sure why/how this could have happened.
Is she trying to apply for a contextual offer? Or an access scheme?

I don't think you should get money off school fees. They are two separate issues. Sue them if you want but let the amount be set by the court should you win
.

No she is not trying to apply for contextual offer. The school admitted that this was a mistake on their behalf.

Hi OP, I'm a UCAS Advisor. I agree with PP. Unsure how they could have 'released' any sort of report as the reference section doesn't allow that facility. I too think you need to get clear clarification what the school have actually done. Is it possible they've contact admissions at the relevant universities, rather than UCAS? It really doesn't make sense

In addition OP, extra time for exams ie Access Arrangements are assessed and awarded by JCQ for the qualification being studied at the time, eg A Levels. This therefore wouldn't be relevant or illustrative of unsuitability to study at HE level, unless degree(s) applied for are all exam based - if that makes sense?

Could it be they've back tracked on a less then generous reference and (as I suggested in pp) contacted admissions?
