Dear Virtual School Team,
Dear Mr Daniels,

2025-11-23

On 15 November 2025 and again on 16 November 2025 I wrote to you with a formal statutory request and a demand under writ and warrant A9Q51NHR and court case 640MC413 Lewis for the complete Virtual School record of my daughter, Emily Cathryn Newbold Smith.

To date:

• I have received no acknowledgement of either email; and
• content relating to your Virtual School’s involvement has disappeared from public view online shortly afterwards.

Given your duties under the Children Act 1989, the Children and Families Act 2014, the Designated Teacher Regulations and the statutory role of the Virtual School Head, this silence is wholly unacceptable.

I now require, within 7 working days of receipt of this email:

1. Written confirmation that you have received my emails dated 15 November 2025 and 16 November 2025.
2. A clear statement confirming whether you hold a Virtual School / PEP record for Emily Cathryn Newbold Smith (DOB 30-10-2006).
3. If you do hold a record, full disclosure of that record in unredacted form, as already specified in my email of 16 November 2025 (PEPs, placement history, correspondence, VSH notes, funding records, ePEP/ECare/EPAC/CIRTO logs, and audit trails).
4. If you claim no record exists, a written explanation setting out:
   • why a statutory educational record does not exist;
   • what steps you have taken to locate it; and
   • when, by whom, and on what basis any record was destroyed, erased or altered.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a FOIA request. It is a request for statutory educational records which you are legally required to maintain and retain for looked-after children. Failure to acknowledge or respond may be treated as non-compliance with the above writ and warrant and with your statutory duties.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 7 working days, I will place your non-response, and the timing of the removal of relevant online materials, before the court and the relevant oversight and regulatory bodies.

Warm regards,
Martin Newbold
