-
Free school meals if you are on Income Support
-
Free school transport for pupils aged 5 - 16 (subject to policies and regulations)
-
Assessment (in accordance with regulations) where your child is thought to have Special Needs
Your school should provide:
-
Governors' annual report to parents
-
Invitations to parents' meetings
-
Information on National Curriculum assessments for your child and the school
-
A written report on your child's progress every year
-
A detailed "record of achievement" when your child changes or leaves school

Most schools have control of their own budgets, which means most decisions affecting the school can be taken locally by Governors and Headteachers.
