If you are aware of the pupil’s destination and have confirmation of the new educational placement and that the pupil has started the new provision, the school is required to complete the online form below.
This includes instances where a pupil has relocated abroad and you have no reason to disbelieve the parents/carers. Whilst we acknowledge it is best practice to obtain a fixed address and/or school name, we recognise that this may not always be possible:
For non-statutory aged children, where a school is unaware of a pupil’s destination and/or the pupil and families whereabouts, then a referral should be made to the Children Missing Education Team, after 10 school days once the school has made initial investigations to the pupil’s whereabouts, including a home visit.
This form should not be used in instances where a pupil has relocated abroad and you have no reason to disbelieve the parents/carers. Whilst we acknowledge it is best practice to obtain a fixed address and/or school name, we recognise that this may not always be possible. Please use the Deletion from Register - Destination Confirmed Form.
If a pupil is deemed vulnerable, then the referral should be made immediately.
Do not remove the child from school roll until advised by the Investigating Officer. The DfE states the LA should be notified in advance of deletions from the register.
