Solihull MBC is the admission authority for this school. Admission arrangements 2027/28 (junior schools, Year 3 entry). The policy is CATCHMENT-BASED: children living within a school's catchment area receive higher priority than children living outside it, and for junior schools the catchment used is that of the LINKED INFANT school. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; this is not an oversubscription criterion.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
