HC Deb 08 February 1994 vol 237 cc173-4W
Mr. Bayley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proportion of parents had received by July 1993(a) a written report on their child's progress in school and (b) a reminder of their right of appeal and how to use it in cases where the local education authority or school governors refuse them a place for their child in the school of their choice.

Mr. Robin Squire

Under the current reporting regulations schools are required to send a written report to all parents on their child's progress at least once in every school year. It is for individual schools to decide when to do so. All admission authorities are required by law to remind parents of their right of appeal when informing them of a decision not to allocate a place for their child at their preferred school.
