School want proof of address for child

Hello,
i have recently moved home and the school are asking for proof of address. I can provide this for my self ( council tax, insurance letters) but struggling for my daughter. I sent bank statements which were rejected.

They will accept child benefit letters. Will HMRC send me a letter to my new address when I change the address for my child?

If you sign into your Government Gateway account you can print off proof of entitlement to Child Benefit from there (and update address details too).

Surely proving the council tax address is enough?

They want proof of where my child lives as well.
