Key Information

Oldbury Wells School has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 168 for each Year 7 intake. We are a popular school and we find that students settle in quickly, forging new friendships and enjoy their learning.

Once your child has been accepted, we make every effort to make their transition to secondary school as smooth and as enjoyable as possible. For new year 7 September starters we run a summer school that lets students get to know each other, the school and the teachers before term starts in September.

Take a look at our Summer School and Transition pages.
