Dual Registration of children with no fixed abode9

This regulation applies to a pupil who —

has no fixed abode for the reason that his parent is engaged in a trade or business of such a nature as to require him to travel from place to place; and

b

is at the time registered as a pupil at two or more schools.

2

The name of a pupil to whom this regulation applies shall not be deleted from that pupil’s school of ordinary attendance pursuant to regulation 8(1)(b) or (c).

Subject to paragraph (4), for the purposes of paragraph (2), a school is a pupil’s school of ordinary attendance if, during the immediately preceding 18 months, it is the school which the pupil has attended during periods when his parent is not travelling in the course of trade or business.

In any case in which two or more schools fulfil the definition of a school of ordinary attendance in paragraph (3), paragraph (2) applies only in respect of the school which fulfils the definition most recently.
