I think they have to let you read the file, on school premises - and you
have to give notice as the school can remove some items, (not sure what).
The school has rights as well.

Letters sent to Governors, or even some members of staff, would not end up
in a child's file.
If sent to the Head or SENCO they might do.

A school would not photocopy a whole file. A child's peperwork is often in
more than one file, in more than one room anyway.

Once you have read the file, in my experience, near the school office,
they may let you photocopy some of it.
