Primary school eadmissions

[Kslatts]

Hi

I have no doubt that I'm being a bit thick but I can't seem to find anywhere on the eadmissions system to up load any supporting documentation to prove our address.

Surely they need proof of address or do they check it against council tax records or something?

About to submit the form and don't want to have missed something!

Thanks in advance

If you live in Southwark you don't need to upload proof of address. The school is supposed to check this when you receive your offer.

Thanks so much!

V helpful - had been wondering the same - thanks

I've asked repeatedly for Southwark Council to check names and addresses to proactively look for fraud. They don't and have yet to even agree to a trial of this. I do (and sure other councillors do and council officials and schools) get occasional reports from unhappy parents about families that obtain school places and they're investigated reactively.

Hi kslotts, greenwater,

Do you know of other councils that require an uploading of proof of address?

Lambeth did when we applied last year (ironically for a Southwark school...)

[Mellors]

Lewisham require you to submit your Council Tax bill

Lambeth do this year, have supplied 2 proofs of my address and 1 of my sons (same address) if I have understood the process correctly.
