Living overseas

If you are currently living overseas and moving to the UK or returning to your own property in Buckinghamshire for the academic year September 2025, make sure you apply with your overseas address and send us evidence of your move when you have it. We can only use your Buckinghamshire address when you are physically resident and have provided the evidence we need.

We will take your child’s new address into account in a later allocation round,

You will be required to provide proof of residence.

Service families

Where service families or families of other crown servants, who often move within the UK and abroad are posted to the area, a unit postal address or quartering area address will be sufficient in the absence of a new home address.

Moving into Buckinghamshire

If you have moved into the area after the deadline of the 25 October 2024, refer to our in-year admissions process.

Types of evidence we can accept

Sibling evidence

Send us the full name and date of birth of the sibling. If you do not tell us, your child may be ranked incorrectly.

Free School Meals and Pupil Premium evidence

Some grammar schools give higher priority to children in receipt of free school meals/Pupil Premium.

You must provide evidence for your child to be considered under this rule.

Send us a dated and signed letter from your child’s current school.

Exceptional medical and social evidence

If you would like your application for your highest preference school to be considered under this rule, you must have a very strong reason for your child attending this particular school.

Not all schools have this rule so make sure you check their admission rules before applying.

If you would like to apply under this rule, you will need to submit evidence to us when you make your application.

This rule is not used to determine any adjustments to the grammar testing process for your child.
