Stop allowing parents adding to schools list in Admissions Portal

On the registration form for new pupils most of the fields are either textboxes or drop down lists. The "Current School" field is a drop down list but also has an "Add School" button, allowing prospective parents to add a school to the list of schools.

We would like to be able to remove the option for anyone to add to the list of school themselves, we'd want to add any missing schools ourselves.

Parents sometimes miss the school they're looking for, so we end up with duplicate schools in the list which we then have to check for and tidy up manually.

Please may we have control over the types of entry for the fields in a portal form (text box, drop down list, tick boxes, etc.), and whether parents can add (or not add) to any of the drop down lists, on a per-field basis.

    This is a major issue for us - we have done so much work tidying up Other Schools (international school and had lots of wrong information) and for parents to then be able to add another New School for us, it creates a lot of work.
