SIF Form

We have submitted the form in our LA e-admission site for local as well as Essex schools . On submission, there was a small notification beneath KEGS that this school requires to submit SIF form and contact csse. However, there was no such notification below the westcliff or southend schools.

I was under assumption that we submitted SIF when we registered for CSSE exam. Do we need to contact the individual schools for any further forms as CSSE website is now closed.

I think you can be sure that the 'SIF' referred to
Is the registration form for the CSSE exam. I suspect that Essex CC has a prompt built into its system and Southend doesn't. We are in Southend but our last CAF was submitted in 2013 and tbh I can't remember whether anything popped up about a SIF; I do remember having to say that I believed DS2 could pass the exam, which I assumed was a hangover from when we applied before the child sat it.

Hi All,

I have the same question. We have selected Colchester girls as one of the choices and on eAdmissions we are given a link to submit SIF. The link just takes us to the CSSE website. Couldn't find any information on CSSE or on the schools' website.

Most likely it should be the form we filled in when registered the child for the CSSE exam but just want to make sure whether we need to fill in any extra SIF.

Many Thanks !!

Neither ColCHS nor the CSSE has a form other the original registration form for the exam -and this is only CSSE, of course, the school doesn't have any kind of separate form. It has no need for one - no ranking on religion / sibling and address evidence would be the LA's problem, not the school's.

Many Thanks for the prompt response. It was just a last moment panic, and needed a re-assurance that I am doing things correctly. Thanks again.
