Admissions

Nursery Admissions

Our Nursery is for children aged 3-4 years old. We can accept your child in the term after their third birthday. If you would like your child to attend Bishop Wilson Nursery, admissions are now handled directly by the school office. We offer 15 hours per week (or 30 hours if you are eligible). The sessions we currently offer to children are: mornings, afternoons, 2.5 days (Monday-Wednesday or Wednesday to Friday) or full time if entitled to the 30 hours. If you would like to apply for a Nursery place at Bishop Wilson for September 2024 or would like any more information, please contact the school office on 0121 770 4063. Places are offered according to our admissions policy (please see bottom of the page).

Reception Admissions

Children born between 1 September 2019 and 31st August 2020 start full time school in September 2024. If you would like to apply for a Reception place at Bishop Wilson C of E School, this needs to be done through Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council admissions. You must apply even if your child already

Admissions for other Year Groups
