Please any-one I am in need of advice

If I have withdrawn my child from a state primary school, and I have notified the LEA. Am I legally obliged to tell the old head teacher which school they are now attending. They are now in private education. My child was being used for funding. My child actually became incredibly depressed and ill due to the disgusting way in which they were treated. Mouth ulcers caused from stress etc. I do not see what business it is of theirs. My childs new school has done their own assessment and funnily enough disagreed with everything the old school has tried to tarnis my child with. Plus state schools get funding from places that private schools wouldn't any-way.

Having just moved both my DD's due to the headteacher who will find out via the LEA it makes no difference if you tell. Depends if Head is that interested.
Good luck with new school.

You are not obliged to tell the old head teacher but it they may find out if, for example, the new school contact the old school for your child's records.

I really don't understand what you are saying about funding. I don't see how a state school can use a child for funding. However, I hope it works out for your child at the new school.

You don't need to tell the old HT. You could be home educating your child.

But what has happened in the old school? How was your child used for funding? What stressed your DD and how old is she?

Fraudulent reports made. If for example one child needs extra help in the class and they can't get the funding because one child isn't enough if for example perhaps more children also require this "need" then they are more likely to attain the help/funding.
A report had been written on another child by the senco co ordinator (teacher at school) the report was so bleak. That the parent decided to get an external assessment done by the lea. What came back was that te report had been made bleaker than it really actually was and that was because there other children in the class that wasn't going to get the help if te need was great enough.

Imagine a 4 yr old being sent out of class infront of the others for not listening, that's not a right to a fair education. Or being publicly humiliated on thier first sports day,a scuffle happened and the teacher held their arm and pulled them out of a race they were about to race. (there were two children involved) but mine was the only to be vilified. But I made the mistake of choosing a small village school, and not owning a 400k property in the village...

Hmm,are we getting the full picture here...have worked in many primary schools as TA and supply teacher and have never come across such a scenario. Methinks the lady doth protest too much...

This has been the most stressful and worrying time as a mother, I would never make such counter productive remarks in a forum where people are asking for help. Your response hasn't done anything but make me feel worse.

This all sounds very odd. That isn't how funding works at all. Has the school said this to you or are you assuming that is why they are apparently overly eager to class children as needing help?

betty70 - put it all behind you now. You cannot change anything that happened in the past and you sound like you have the weight of that entire school on your shoulders.

So go on forwards happy in that things are going to improve for your child and for you. You sound stressed out - goodness knows what has been going on but you are out of it now. Skip off and be grateful for the fresh start.

You don't have to tell the HT anything.

But the important thing, regardless of discussions about funding, is that you do what is best for your child.

The old school will find out even if you don't tell them. They have to put a school or reason for leaving into the computer, if a child leaves and the parents don't tell where they are going the school will report them to the LEAs children missing in education team, who have accessories to a super system which tells them where any child is using their Unique Profile number or UPN. Surely the new school will want your child's records to see where they are up to, even if they do their own assessment they will want to know levels etc. If your child is only 4 they will need this information for the Foundation Stage Profile and as this is a record of when things are achieved, and it would be to your child's disadvantage not to have this.

*accessories = access

OP, your posts make no sense, to be honest.
