Some Surrey schools need you to submit a completed supplementary form in addition to the application form. It provides the school with extra information relevant to its admissions criteria, to help the school when considering your application.
A number of schools, including all community and voluntary controlled schools require you to complete a supplementary information form if:
- They give priority to children whose parent is a member of staff at the school. Please see the admission arrangements for each school to see how member of staff is defined and the conditions that may be attached.
- If you wish to apply on the basis of exceptional medical or social need, the supplementary form provides you with help on all the information that is needed for such a request.
Submitting a supplementary form
- You should complete any supplementary forms required by the schools that you have named on your application form.
- You must do this by the date specified by the school.
- Where a supplementary form is needed, you must complete and return this to the address stated on the form, along with any supporting evidence.
- Submitting a completed supplementary form is not a valid application, unless you also name the school as a preference on the local authority's application.
- Your application will still be considered if you do not provide any required supplementary information form, but it may mean your child receives lower priority for a place if insufficient evidence is provided
Check our Directory of Surrey schools to find out:
- If a school asks for a supplementary form and download a copy.
- The closing date for the return of each supplementary form and the address it should be returned to by checking the form or by contacting the school.
If you are applying for schools outside Surrey, contact the school or relevant local authority directly to check what supplementary forms may be needed.
