Well in Ron's case I doubt he went to a muggle primary school so he would
either have gone to a wizarding primary school (in which case no
explanations would be necessary) or was taught at home.

As for Hermione - in England everyone (well almost everyone) changes school
at 11, so no one would be suspicious that she disappeared. Her parents could
always say that she was going to a public school (and I doubt anyone would
be suspicious bearing in mind how studious and intelligent she is). Actually
there was a news report the other day about how many children have been
'lost' by LEAs (local education authorities). i.e. they are not in school
but there is no record of it due to them moving or whatever - so I don't
even think there would have to be an explanation to them.
