Please note that this application must be made by an adult who has parental responsibility for the
child. It is not the responsibility of the school admissions team to determine parental responsibility.
Where parental responsibility is equally shared, the Admissions Team will ask the child’s parents to
determine which parent should submit the application. If parents cannot agree and neither has
obtained a court order stating who should be making the application, the school will accept an
application from the parent in receipt of child benefit for the named child.
Where parental responsibility is held by someone other than the child’s mother or father, it will be
necessary to submit evidence of this in support of the application. An acceptable form of evidence
for this purpose would be a copy of any legal document awarding parental responsibility to the adult
making the application.
