NEW JOINERS

We are delighted that your child has been offered a place at Bishopswood School and we extend a very warm welcome to you and your family.

We understand that starting a new school can feel like a big step, and we are committed to ensuring that this transition is as smooth and positive as possible for both you and your child. Our team is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

To help you understand what to expect, we’ve created a clear Admissions Arrangements Flowchart, which outlines each stage of the admissions process — from confirmation of placement by the Local Authority through to your child’s transition into school life in September. This includes welcome letters, parent meetings, admissions paperwork, and tailored transition planning, all designed to help your child settle into our school with confidence.

As part of this process, you will be invited to attend a Parent Tour and Welcome Meeting with the Headteacher. This will be your opportunity to visit the school, meet the team, and ask any questions you may have about the provision, routines, and next steps.

At Bishopswood, we value strong relationships with our families. We believe that working together in partnership from the very beginning enables our pupils to thrive and achieve their full potential.

We are excited to welcome you into our school community and look forward to supporting your child’s journey with us.

For any queries or to speak to our team, please contact the school office at office@bishopswoodschool.co.uk or call 0118 972 4311.
