What happens if I do not tell you about siblings attending any of my preferred schools in years 7 - 10 in September 2012?
If you do not tell us you have siblings in any of your preferred schools we will not check to find out. This means your application could be ranked against a lower criteria. As a result you may miss out on a place at one or all of your preferred schools which otherwise you may have been offered.

What is considered as being the home address?
The home address is your child’s main place of residence at the date of your application. Throughout the admissions process the Local Authority reserves the right to investigate any address given on the application form. You must inform us promptly if your address changes at any time as this will affect your application.

What happens if I give a false address on my application form or move home without telling the admissions service?
It is important you give accurate information. If you give a false address or do not tell us when you move home we may withdraw the offer of a school place. You would then have to apply again by which time many schools will be full.
