About Us

We are a genuine all-through school, with pupils staying from nursery to sixth form across two sites. This allows us to have a long-term impact on our pupils’ lives, starting from our primary school where pupils develop a love of learning.

We adopt a mastery approach in primary, with explicit teaching of skills and concepts, enriched by a varied curriculum. Our specialist teaching model benefits pupils with expert instruction in PE, music, art, humanities, and science.

In 2019, we merged with Ark Paddington Green Academy to form King Solomon Academy, with separate sites for younger and older pupils. Our nursery, opened in 2021, offers extensive outdoor spaces and resources.
