Two-guardian contact model in Manchester

Greater Manchester mixes Ofsted-inspected academies and maintained schools with independents in the Independent Schools Council world. Borough admissions and independent applications are different doors.

September term and half-terms drive attendance. GBP fee heads for independents; DfE data habits for state-funded campuses. Local named facts include Ofsted, DfE, September term, A-level. Instrument: separate contacts on one student profile. GBP independent fees where applicable; state-funded campuses do not invent tuition ledgers. September term with half-terms that must drive attendance.

The student is one. The contacts are many. Invoices can still be assigned to a payer without hiding the child from the other guardian. Court orders on contact and collection override a form. Staff still need a written school process. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
