What you may need to send us for proof of a sibling link when you apply for a primary school place.

A sibling link to a school must be confirmed by 8 May 2026 for this information to be considered when processing your application in the second round of allocations.    

Evidence needed

Sibling link

Examples of evidence to support a sibling link may include:

  • full birth certificates
  • court orders
  • Home Office documents
  • Child Arrangement Order
  • Parental Responsibility Order

If we find that a sibling currently at the school was offered a place on the basis of false information then for any further applications received, we'll discount the sibling link.

Withdrawal of a primary school place offer

We can withdraw an offer of a place in some circumstances.
