for those of you who think she's cheating, she's not. It's not to do with the questions on the sheet.................. its to do with gift aid(as in tax and money !!!!!)

I can only think that the cause your neice is being sponsored for is something from which she might benefit, eg some equipment or other item for her school. The donor under Gift Aid cannot receive goods, membership services or other services or other benefits (including discounts) in return. As the parents of a child at the school, they would benefit indirectly from anything their child received.
It's a long shot and if its the case, the school appears to be being over-cautious!

Lets guess shall we ?
You 'gift aid' your Annual salary to your daughter .. she collects all your Tax back from the Inland Revenue and gives it all back to you ...
Can you see why Inland Revenue might not be too keen on this idea ?
On the other hand, you Gift Aid your Salary to me. I collect the Tax back ... now that's what I call a 'good deal' ...

How bizarre. I've never heard of this exclusion before. I would ask the school or club.
