Entry information

WV2 Education is a specialist independent setting for pupils who have been unable to maintain a place in mainstream school. Its official information describes referrals from local authorities, schools and parents and an individual process; it is not a general 11+ admissions route.

The admissions process

  • Contact WV2 Education to discuss provision and suitability.
  • The school says pupils join through referrals from local authorities, schools and parents; its published information does not describe a standard Year 7 entrance examination.
