# Schools in Solihull

65 schools with published admissions figures

"1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held.

## How the 2026 round went

Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows.

### Primary

For September 2026, 91.7% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 98.8% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 3.1 points higher than in 2016, when it was 88.6%.

The council's primary schools between them had 2,638 places for 2,090 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


### Secondary

For September 2026, 79.8% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 93.6% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.3 points lower than in 2016, when it was 81.0%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 3,299 places for 2,632 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.


## If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Solihull lodged 254 appeals about a school place.

136 of them were heard by a panel and 5 succeeded, which is about 4 in every 100 heard.

The other 118 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

## Schools here running specialist SEN provision

7 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school.

| School | Phase | What it runs |
|---|---|---|
| [Bishop Wilson Church of England Primary School, Birmingham](/school/104105/bishop-wilson-church-of-england-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Dickens Heath Community Primary School, Solihull](/school/133720/dickens-heath-community-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Mill Lodge Primary School, Solihull](/school/104057/mill-lodge-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Windy Arbor Primary School, Birmingham](/school/149491/windy-arbor-primary-school) | primary | Resourced provision |
| [Alderbrook School, Solihull](/school/136994/alderbrook-school) | secondary | Resourced provision |
| [Langley School, Solihull](/school/137007/langley-school) | secondary | Resourced provision |
| [Tudor Grange Academy, Solihull, Solihull](/school/136310/tudor-grange-academy-solihull) | secondary | SEN unit |

This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council. Source: Department for Education, special educational needs in England.
