What can you do when a senior school in the uk breaks government legislation?

My daughters school has broken government legislation with failing to provide her with P.E for the last 2 years is there anything that can be done about this?|||Your first step should be to write a letter to the school, as all schools are required to have a complaints procedure, handled by the governing body. While complaining in this way will not be helpful, you will generally be taken much more seriously "up the chain."





You can complain directly to the Local Authority through this website:

If this fails, you can contact the Department of Education, who will generally only deal with your complaint if you have already contacted the Local Authority, but you feel they have acted unreasonably or entirely failed to answer your complain. This can be done here:

You may be wise to contact OFSTED (enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk) OFSTED cannot and do not take on individual complaints about schools, however they may be able to give you a much better idea of the EXACT requirements that the school must meet. This way, you can show them the exact requirements, and the school cannot "fob you off" by saying they have no obligation.





I hope this helped.|||If all fails after following Michael your option is Judicial Review via the high court. This forces public services to comply with the law as passed by parliament.
