What makes
King Solomon Special?
Innovative international business focus
The school creates advantages for students through its international outlook.
We believe that in the single market global economy, internationally recognised qualifications will become more
relevant and useful. We follow the National Curriculum in our Primary and Secondary School, but tailor the
curriculum to embrace the highly regarded International Baccalaureate (IB) profile, so that students in our Sixth
Form, can study and achieve the IB Diploma and IB Career Related Certificate programmes.
The IB Diploma is a prestigious qualification favoured by many overseas international schools and a growing number
of leading schools in the UK. It is academically demanding while addressing non-academic skills and character
development. It is a sought after qualification on the international stage.
We specialise in international business and enterprise and work closely with international companies to equip
our students, developing skills aligned to ever changing business needs of the global economy. By offering a
globally respected curriculum we provide an advantage for our pupils in the international market.
Open to all
We are a non fee-paying, non-selective, co-educational school, which
means our school is free to attend, open to boys and girls, and no
qualifying entry exams.
As an all-through school, we are able to provide a continuity and
progression of curriculum for students from 4 years old right through to
completing their education in Sixth Form.
High attainment expectations
We provide a secure and supportive learning environment, tailored to the
needs of individual students, working in partnership with parents. We
have high expectations of our students meeting, ambitious learning
targets and achieving strong personal results.
Strong discipline
Student self-discipline and respect for others is paramount. The
Primary phase has a value based approach to student conduct and
behaviour, congruent with the Nine Testament Biblical character
development "Fruit of the Spirit". There is a strict dress code with a clear
school uniform policy which all students are expected to follow
throughout the school.
A non-denominational Christian school
We are a Christian school, open to all Christian denominations, faiths and
cultures. Rooted in the Christian tradition, the School provides an
education that builds character and enables students to develop toward
being complete spiritual, moral, social and emotional human beings. We
cultivate the "Nine Virtues" of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control which all contribute
to a productive, caring, learning environment.
Primary students are expected to attend to attend Collective Worship daily,
consisting of song, prayer and story for reflection. Celebration services are
held at a local church according to the Christian calender.
Greater opportunities for learning
extended school day
To provide a comprehensive all-round education, the school
operates a 42 week school year (four weeks longer than normal).
The Primary School day runs from 8.45 to 15.30, with before and
after school club provision.
The extended school year provides opportunities for extra
curriculum activities and enrichment opportunities.
We operate a firm and fair approach to behaviour management.
Pastoral care and character development
We aim to provide the highest possible level of care, support and learning
so that every pupil achieves the very best they can. Primary School pupils
will be taught in classes up to a maximum of 30. Their class teacher
will be responsible for their academic and pastoral care.

Each child is also assigned to one of four school Houses, linked also to
pastoral care and inter-house competition. Many of the school’s
extra-curricular activities are conducted through school Houses,
encouraging a sense of belonging.
