The application form to confirm your school preferences that you submit to the Local authority does not always include all the information that some schools might need if they are oversubscribed and have to decide have how places are allocated by using the oversubscription criteria from their admission policy.
Some schools ask applicants to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which collects extra information that the school use to apply their oversubscription criteria.
Knowsley Catholic and Church of England schools have a SIF that applicants should complete if they want their application to be considered under any faith category of the schools oversubscription criteria.

Once you have completed your form
Completed supplementary forms must be returned directly to the individual schools by the application closing date 31 October for year 7 and 15 January for reception class, or at the time of making an in-year application.
A SIF must be completed in addition to the local authority application form and a separate SIF must be completed for each school of preference that requests one.
If a school is named as a preference on the Local Authority application but a SIF is not completed, the school preference will still be considered but this could mean the application only meets a lower criteria.
If a school SIF is completed but the school has not been named as a preference on the Local Authority application, the school admission authority will not consider your child for a place.
