The ISI inspection requires us to keep childrens' previous addresses. It would be helpful to have a field in Student Manager where these could be added rather than having to create additional 'dummy' contacts to hold these.

We use the notes section to to record previous address. It is a legal requirement for all schools in England and Wales to report this information to Local Authorities so the functionality should be in iSAMS and shouldn't be us finding work arounds.
I think a separate field is a start, but this field should be the student history of addresses. Addresses for student should also be "the same" field not manually added, this inevitable leads to human error.
The best solution here would be an address field so everyone at the address can be linked and "moved" to a new address.
We are now using the "notes" section on the students record to record the previous information - for UKVI purposes - but this doesn't seem the most logical method and is likely to be subject to human error. Would really like a field which retains the previous information.

Address change records are also required for UKVI
