Your home address
Moving home
The address used for allocating a school place will be the address where the child lives for the majority of the school week at the closing date for applications.
If you are moving into a new home before Friday 31 October 2025, you are advised to apply once the new address has become your permanent residence.
If your move will be complete after the closing date, you should apply before the Friday 31 October 2025 using your current address. Once your move is complete you should notify the School Admissions Team as soon as possible.
Proof of address
We may ask you for proof of residence at the address you have given.
We are committed to preventing fraudulent applications for school places.
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 before places can be confirmed
- not use short term tenancies or the address of a family member who is providing childcare
We may -
- check addresses against other records we hold. This is in accordance with our Data Protection Register
- ask for suitable proof of residence, tenancy agreement, or proof of sale and completion if selling and buying
- request proof of council tax payment
A school place may be withdrawn if an application is found to be fraudulent or intentionally misleading.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.
If you move address you must notify us as soon as possible. We may ask you to provide evidence of the house move, for example -
- an exit utility bill for the previous property
- a completion of sale document
- a landlord notice to leave document
- a council tax bill for your new property
- a tenancy agreement for your new property
- evidence of completion of a house purchase
