School records for an individual pupil

Describing how to access your child's educational record.

Schools keep educational records for each pupil and when a child moves to a new school their record will be forwarded to that school.

Parents have a right to see their child’s educational record and can access this by writing to the school to make arrangements to see it. If you would like a copy of your child’s educational record, you may be asked to make a small charge to cover the cost of photocopying.

School records are kept for 25 years from the child’s date of birth and are then destroyed.
 
To request access to your child's educational record, please contact your school directly.
