Applying for a School Place:
Applications for preferred schools require proof of permanent address, however there are measures in place under the Schools Admissions Code to allow Service families to use the unit address as listed on the assignment order or, if appropriate, a quartering address of the closest Service Families Accommodation where they have been allocated accommodation. The Unit Personnel Office/HR Department may be able to provide a letter confirming posting to the area to support the application.
