What evidence do I need to provide if I am moving house at the time of transfer to Reception, Junior or Secondary School?

If your move involves the purchase of a property, you will need to provide appropriate written evidence in the form of a letter from your solicitors detailing your exchange of contracts and the actual completion date. A letter of intention to purchase is not sufficient
If your move involves the renting of a property, you will need to provide appropriate independent written evidence (e.g.: from an Estate Agent or Solicitor) of the tenancy agreement or lease including the start and end dates. You will also need to provide appropriate written evidence (in the form of a letter from your Solicitor or Estate Agent) confirming the sale of your existing property. Any tenancy agreement needs to have an end date later than the start of the appropriate Autumn Term
If your move involves you returning to live in a property that you already own, you will need to provide appropriate written evidence of the date that you will resume living in the property and that you intend to remain living there for the foreseeable future. If you have rented this property out, please provide evidence that you have given your tenants notice to leave
If your move involves you residing with a member of your family, we will need to see your child benefit book, showing that the child is resident at the relevant address.

Please note that unless the written evidence provided proves, to the satisfaction of the Authority, that you have moved or will move to the address that you indicate, we will not be able to consider your application from your new address. Please talk with the Admissions Service about your specific case.

What evidence do I need to provide if I am moving house at any other time?

You only need to provide appropriate written evidence, as above if the school you are applying for is full or if there is more than one applicant for a school place.
