About Us
We are a genuine all-through school, with our pupils staying with us from nursery to sixth form across two sites, ten minutes-walk apart. This allows a long-term and dramatic impact on our pupils’ lives, starting in our primary school where pupils develop a love of learning.
We have a strong track-record of making a significant impact on our pupils’ lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, with explicit teaching of skills and concepts, supported by a varied and cultural capital enriching curriculum. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art, humanities and science, giving all staff time to plan each subject properly.
In September 2019 we merged with Ark Paddington Green Academy to form one all-through King Solomon Academy. Our Younger Years Site (Crompton Street) houses Nursery-Year 4 and our Older Years Site (Penfold Street) houses Year 5-Year 13. In May 2021 we opened a purpose-built nursery for 2- to 4-year-olds. Our Younger Years Site has generous outdoor space, including a global food garden and a woodland garden for Forest School in EYFS and KS1. UKS2 pupils benefit from resources on a shared site with secondary, including a large MUGA, basketball courts, science labs and specialist music equipment.
