I have no idea how the British system works, but some parents in the 
States have been gravitating towards home-schooling their children.  
It's very possible that if the Malfoys had a tutor, the Weasleys were 
home-schooled.  They would then be able to answer to any authorities 
they needed to.  A collective home-school may even have been set up 
in neighborhoods where several wizarding families were living.  It 
seems like the wizard-born students don't go to (Muggle) public 
school, because they don't seem to know much about how Muggles do 
things.  (Remember Ron trying to call Harry on the phone?)
