Supplementary information forms
In addition to applying on the local authority (LA) application form, this school requires you to complete a supplementary information form (SIF).
These supplementary forms seek information which is not collected on the LA application form, but which is needed by the school to enable them to reach a decision on your application.
You can collect a SIF from the school or download it from here.
The SIF should be returned direct to the school and not to the local authority. A SIF will not be considered alone. You must also include the school as a preference on the local authority's common application form.
