So i would be better sending it back through the post, stating its been sent to wrong address and hope they will remove my address or any details about my address from their database.They must quiz the parent about the address i asume.

Yes i would do that, or just give them a ring. Either way probably better that the school knows about it or, if they do have the wrong address this wont be the last time you get mail if they are anything like my children's school and letters.

I can say for certain thats not the case here, not a school you would put in the top league.
Just also a childs medical appointment you would rather keep under wraps, and not broadcast it, ie very sensative.

I do want to phone first though but i would have to give my name etc, but still a stranger to them.

Why do you have to give your name? If they ask then just tell them you'd rather not as it is not relevant to the situation.

Yes that true, after all its their mistake and i am only trying to help, and not throwing it in the bin.

to be honest I wouldnt bother asking that as there is (should be) no chance that the school is going to give any information about a pupils affairs to a random stranger calling.
Best you can hope for is an apology and it never happening again.

If the op was concerned about Id theft or similar , it's perfectly reasonable ask the school if there is a reasonable explaination for this. If they've sent the item back-no ones asking them to divulge information about the pupil , just a courtesy call which is the least the op could expect.

Thanks hollydays that makes sense as well.

Sorry to butt in but I will ask, I get loads of letters for ex tenants which wouldnt be a problem but somtimes if I open them in morning I dont look at the name, came across in last few months a unpaid criminal fine, job application forms, even a few letters stating someone got the job and a start date (more than once so not a coincidence) and the main one is multiple years worth of unpaid tax bills (which I reckon is the real reason they havent changed their address)

I have had debit cards in about 6 different names so far also and multiple bank statements.

For a few months after moving in the ex tenants used to come round and moan that I wasnt keeping their letters.

But as I have been living here 18 months they have had more than enough time.

Is it better to return to sender or write the employers especially notes saying that their new employees are not living at the address they gave.

I suppose it is reasonable to ask, but I would expect a generic answer, not really telling you anything.
Something like, 'thank you, we will look into it'.
