History

We have a rich History & Heritage which we value, but also wish to embrace the opportunities that the future brings.  The Silhillians site is owned by The Old Silhillians Association - the old boys and girls association of Solihull School - and has provided sport to both its alumni, and also the wider community, for several decades.  The Sports sections have competed on the National, and International stage, with the most notable occasions being Old Silhillians Hockey Club being named European Hockey Club of the Year in 2014; the Hockey Club also winning the National Mixed Plate in 2013/14 and Silhillians RUFC playing in the National Vase Final at Twickenham in 1999.
