King Solomon is a new free school which opened in September 2015 in central Birmingham, with two year groups i.e. Reception and Year7 at full capacity.  This new academic year, this very popular school welcomed another cohort of Reception and Year 7’s.  The school, with its three form entry, plans to grow organically until it reaches full capacity in 2021.   

Our vision is to achieve academic excellence, develop students with exemplary character, develop students with the skills to be able to live, work and trade in the global economy and ensure all students succeed.  

It is our goal at King Solomon that all pupils have the opportunity to grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, intellectually, culturally and aesthetically.  As such, King Solomon is rooted in the Christian tradition, and is therefore committed to providing an education that seeks to build character and enable students to develop as whole, rounded and spiritual human beings.
