The School Admissions Code gives us the right to withdraw any school place offered on the basis of a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application. If we receive notification of a potentially fraudulent application the Council’s Fraud and Investigations Team may be asked to review the information that has been provided. This may include interviewing and taking a signed statement from the applicant.
