Elective home education 

In Wales and the rest of the UK, although education is compulsory, going to school is not.

Local authorities have no legal responsibility or obligation to fund parents who choose to home educate.

For more information, visit our application guidance webpage.

Complaints 

All maintained schools in Wales, including nursery schools, have a procedure for dealing with complaints.

View the School Governing Bodies Complaints Procedures on the Welsh government website.

Making a complaint

A complaint about a school should be made directly to the school.

School contact information can be found on our school contact details webpage.

You can request a copy of the schools complaints policy to understand how complaints are handled.
