If you are applying for a Catholic school/academy or a Church of England school/academy and want your application to be considered on faith grounds, you must provide a copy of your child's Baptismal Certificate to the school/academy. You may also need to complete a Supplementary Form, which is available from the school/academy. You are advised to read the school's admission policy and check their requirements to support a faith application.
You must still submit your on-line application.
Once you have selected a faith school as a preference on your application, one of the questions you will be asked is it based on faith. If you select "Yes", a list of faith options will be available.

Please make sure to send these to the school. And submit your application on-time.
