Technophobe, may I ask, how did you get hold of your old school reports, and are you in the UK?

I'm considering a second evaluation at a different place, but the new place asks for school reports for assessment of an adult. I'm 54.

I just contacted both my schools, one said they no longer have records for the 1960s and 70s! The other failed to reply. I'm wondering how there can be "no records" of the pupils of school just because it was 40 and 50 years ago.

That long ago there might only have ever been one, handwritten, copy of a report anyway.
Even now most school records are destroyed/deleted within a matter of years, rather than decades.
You could try again specifically mentioning section 7 of the DPA, but if don't have any records they can't give you anything.
