Admission Arrangements
Wolsey House warmly welcomes new families to visit the school. Please contact the school for more information.
Wolsey House has three classes of 30 pupil places for each school year, from Reception through to Year 6 and 52 part-time equivalent places for Nursery.
Admissions for the Reception class are dealt with by Leicester City Local Authority, Nursery places are allocated by the school.
