Taster Days

Following the offer of a place we are always very happy to arrange a taster morning for your child (normally in the Senior School). These allow your child to experience, first hand, the school during a normal working day. Please do not just take our word for it; let them experience Solihull if this would help your decision.

The Admissions Registrar, Mrs Nicolette Mullan, would be very happy to take your call on any aspect or issue pertaining to the application/admissions' process.

Mrs Nicolette Mullan can be contacted on 0121 705 4273 or email admissions@solsch.org.uk
