If children are removed after fraud uncovered....

[Wikkitikki]

Are allowed to go on waiting list at the school they were removed from?
There was a child removed from reception 3Years ago in an undersubscribed intake who's parents were separated and fraudulently claimed child's main address was with the parent who lived in catchment.
The child was later re admitted in year 2 after their sibling started in reception.

More recently, a child has been removed from reception who has a sibling in year 2. It was obvious that the family weren't living in or near catchment as they invited classmates to their home which is miles from school. I don't know if they rented in catchment to get their older child in or lied about the address. The older child didn't join the school until year 1 after genuine applicants lost out due to it being a very high birth rate. Some families who already had children attending couldn't get in.

Would the child that has been removed be able to go on the waiting list with a sibling priority or will genuine families be placed higher on the list ?

Our area has tightened up a LOT in the last 3 years, Madam, so it may be that you were the last stage of a laxer system. Certainly here the admissions booklet is VERY prescriptive, along the lines Clay suggests.

Gosh, well I'm glad I applied from my address, even though ds was then spending most time at exps. But he doesn't have PR, so I reckon that would make my application kosher!

Where I live Madamedefarge the parent with parental responsibility would have to apply. In the example I gave the parent with PR wasn't in catchment and other parents who knew this notified the LA.
