It's good that they've apologised, but yes, just a few years ago this was common practice for all those "inclusive" institutions desperate to get their Stonewall or LGBT Youth Scotland certificate of trans idiocy. From the Times:

An independent school has apologised for reporting parents to social workers when they opposed attempts to classify their child as transgender.

George Watson’s College in Edinburgh alerted social services in December 2020 after a long dispute in which the parents, acting on advice from psychologists, asked for the school to adopt a “watchful waiting” approach to their child. This involves closely monitoring a child’s view of their gender without making medical or social interventions, such as changing names or pronouns.

However, the parents say the school insisted on facilitating the child’s wish to identify as a boy. The Times has seen correspondence in which the school said it felt compelled to “share our concerns” with child protection services….

The mother, who has asked to not be named to protect her child’s anonymity, believes the school’s actions were shaped by its adherence to policies supported by LGBT Youth Scotland, which urges teachers to change toilets from mixed sex to gender neutral. The school had received a gold award from the charity for “LGBTQ+ friendliness” in April 2019.
