You must complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) if you would like your child to be considered under any of the Faith criteria. The SIF is available from the school and must be returned to the school by 5pm on 15 December 2026. Places will be allocated to pupils who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school as appropriate provision. Definition of Siblings The definition of a brother or sister, sometimes referred to as a sibling: • a brother or sister sharing the same parents • a half-brother or half-sister where 2 children share one common parent. • a step-brother or step sister, where two children are related by a parent’s marriage. • adopted children • foster children A brother or sister must be living at the same address when the application is made. Children of “worshipping members” For parents/carers to be worshipping members, at least one of the parents/carers of the child needs to be regarded by the priest/minister/worship leader as being part of the worshipping community at the church/worship centre. This would not necessarily mean that the parent/carer is a “Member” in the technical sense (e.g., through baptism, confirmation or electoral roll) but would imply a pattern of attendance at worship (on Sunday or at other times) that is more than “occasional” and has been sustained for more than a short, very recent, period of time. SIF A/B If parents/carers wish their application to be considered under criteria 7 or 8, they must complete form SIF/A which is available from Finedon Mulso CE Junior School and return it to the school (not the local authority). This must be done by 5pm on 15 December 2026. The school will submit the completed form SIF/A to the relevant minister with form SIF/B to verify the information. As SIF/B needs to be returned to the local authority in time for the local authority to rank admissions, it is very important to submit form SIF/A to the school as soon as possible.
