Child missing education referral form

Children missing education (CME) are children of compulsory school age who:

• aren't on a school roll, and
• aren't getting a suitable education other than at school

CME doesn't apply to children who are registered at a school but aren't attending regularly.

You can use this form to notify us of a child and up to three siblings.  If more than four children you'll need to fill in another form for the additional children.

Use this form when:

• the pupil has moved out of the area and you have confirmation of their new address
• a parent has contacted your school about a place for a child living in Bristol who's not already on a school roll, and your school can't offer a place
• you have reason to believe that a child living in Bristol doesn't have a school place

Independent schools only: use this form before deleting a pupil from roll, when the child:

• is no longer a pupil at your school and
• hasn't started in a new school
