Catholic school

Given that some catholic schools require a baptism certificate, has anyone had their child baptised in a Catholic Church even though they were originally baptised as a baby in CofE?

You can't be baptised as a Christian twice.

Well the Anglican married priests were able to become catholic priests so how does that work?

RC schools often specify baptism under a year. There may also be regular attendance criteria to be certified by the parish priest,

You can be baptised Anglican and then live and practice as a Catholic but you can't be baptised again as you are already a Christian. The child could practice as a Catholic and ask a priest to confirm this when submitting a school application.

They do but definitely not often.

Well, if you're happy to 'find' full-blown RC-ness just for the sake of getting your DC into a 'more desirable' school, then surely there would be no problem with asserting that no CofE one had ever happened?
