Backstory, DCs dad and I are separated, they see him EOW. Apart from that, he has no input, forgets birthdays. Generally they don't want him to be involved with their everyday lives. Definitely not keep on him being involved with school stuff.
Last night he appeared on dds classroom account, he'd been invited, by whom I know not!
She doesn't want him on there. I asked her tutor to remove him, which she did but he's reappeared today.
How can I get him off and keep him off without him knowing dd doesn't want him on there (manipulative, PA, guilt trip expert etc)?
I asked who invited him but tutor does not know.

Any ideas? Thanks.

He hasn't appeared on DSs account, he's in the year above.

Does the school have an IT lead? Maybe give the admin team a call

I'm planning on doing that Monday. I'm emailing her tutor too. Poor woman, I was so shocked at him appearing the first time, I sent a really peculiar rambling email!

I believe he's entitled to receive copies of their annual school reports, and if everything is done via the classroom account then that's probably the normal mechanism for doing that.
I think you need to contact the admin people, not the form tutor.

It was probably a recent system change, and in that case he's probably getting the invitation automatically. Perhaps the school was getting requests to add second parents and decided to make it automatic (on the grounds that they are entitled, as someone said earlier). If so, there needs to be a mechanism to permanently opt out. As someone else said, you will need to contact the admin people, but if they don't act you can escalate it to the head of year. No need to give lots of personal background detail - just say that for personal reasons your DD doesn't want him on there.
