Your home address
The address used for allocating a school place is where the child lives for most of the school week at the closing date for applications.
Proof of address
We are committed to preventing fraudulent applications for school places and may ask you for proof of residence at the address you have given.
You must -
- only use one address when applying for a school place
- use the address at which the parent or carer and child are ordinarily resident
- be held responsible for proving they are ordinarily resident at the address
- provide more information if requested

We may -

A school place may be withdrawn if an application is found to be fraudulent or intentionally misleading. This can happen even after the child has started school.
