How strictly do schools check catchment addresses in practice?
I know of a case where someone allegedly used my friend's address to get into a popular catchment school. My friend felt pressured because that person is her employer and is now anxious about possible consequences.
That person changed his driver's licence address, made her sign the statutory declaration and provide him necessary documents.
A lot of families genuinely move or pay higher rent in those catchment areas, so it feels unfair. How common is this, and do schools usually investigate residency claims?
