Families who are planning to move, or have moved to Oxfordshire from outside the UK

If you are moving to Oxfordshire from overseas, you should provide proof of your Oxfordshire address with the application.

You can apply for a school place without proof of address; however, without it, we may not be able to offer your child a school place.

See below for documents we accept as proof of address.

Proof of address

You should provide proof of address with your application. Proof of your new Oxfordshire address will improve your chances of getting the school place you want.

You can apply for a school place without proof of address; however, without it, we may not be able to offer your child a school place.

Documents we accept as proof of address:

Solicitor’s letter confirming contracts have been exchanged
Tenancy agreement (the page showing details of the new address and the last page signed by the landlord and tenant)
New Council Tax demand
Letter from new employer (e.g. University college) where accommodation is being provided by them and is tied to the new post/job
New Quarter information if this is a military posting with provided accommodation
Assignment Order if this is a military posting, but the new quarter has not yet been notified.

If your tenancy is for less than six months, this may not be considered as sufficient proof of address for school admission purposes.
