Is it an independent school with overseas students? I had to send a copy of DDs passport when confirming her place

Mine asked nationality and country of birth but I put 'N/A' on them, that wasn't a problem, no-one came back to me.

I have never been asked for passport number although I have shown them dd's passport when they have booked overseas trips (and then they took charge of her passport for the trips themselves) so they may have that recorded.

I have a vague idea that schools are being asked by the Home Office to collect this kind of data so the govt can monitor immigration status. Many schools are refusing.

No way I'd give school my child's passport number unless they were taking him abroad!

Odd.

DD’s school did not ask for anything like that.

Not sure I understand the question?

I just filled it in. It was mostly contact details and asking for permissions of photos, medical help etc so hardly probing.
