Admission arrangements
How admission arrangements are agreed for the council's schools, church voluntary aided schools and academies.
Consultation on proposed admission arrangements
Admission to schools in Solihull for children starting school from 1 September 2022 onwards
Every year the admission arrangements for schools and academies are reviewed and determined. There must be a consultation if any significant changes are being proposed or if there has not been a consultation for seven years.
The following schools are also carrying out a consultation:
- Bentley Heath CE primary School
- Knowle CE Primary Academy
- Alderbrook School
- Heart of England School
- Langley School
- Light Hall School
- Lyndon School
The following school has recently converted to academy status and is consulting on their proposed admission arrangements for the first time:
The consultation period is from 20 December 2020 to 31 January 2021.
Follow the link on the school name to see their proposed admission arrangements or go to the school’s website.
If you have any comments or views regarding the admission arrangements, you should send them to the relevant school or academy by 31 January 2021.
Admission arrangements for all other schools and academies in Solihull are not changing.
