Uncontrolled Aerodrome

Need some advice

I fly an aircraft from an uncontrolled airport into controlled (VFR), it's about a 20min flight. I am getting a lot of grief from a flight school who think they own the place.

If taking off from a field in an ATZ in uncontrolled airspace, is there any rule about when to change frequency.

If someone could point me to the laws and guidance specifically as to when I can change frequency (its such a short turn around within 5 mins after takeoff I am in controlled airspace)

Secondly they keep complaining saying I am not following their flight departure procedures. As it is uncontrolled by definition I did not think it was mandatory to follow unpublished procedures?

My main concern is not busting class D airspace adjacent to the field.

As I am new to UK airspace it would be a help, I have flown in Italy and never come across this drama. Specific laws would be useful.
