Sixth Form Admissions

We aim to give you the best Sixth Form experience possible. We set high standards in terms of pupil conduct and effort and expect our pupils to be the best that they can be in all areas. We believe that the staff at Bishop Walsh Catholic School are highly dedicated and committed professionals. We offer a supportive and friendly environment which we strongly feel helps to inspire and motivate you to succeed and reach your goals.

The admissions process is part of the Birmingham LA co-ordinated scheme. The Admission Policy of the Governors of Bishop Walsh Catholic School is as follows:

The school was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families.The school is conducted by its Governing Body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with its Trust Deed and Instrument of Government and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus. We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. This does not affect the right of parents who are not of the faith of this school to apply for and be considered for a place here.
