About Star King Solomon Academy

Star King Solomon Academy sits in the Birmingham local authority, a large and competitive secondary landscape with 95 schools of its type. Its Progress 8 score of -0.83 places it 80th out of 83 in the LA, putting it in the bottom percentile locally. For context, the highest-performing nearby peers include Eden Boys' School, Birmingham (Progress 8 of 1.58), St Paul's School for Girls (1.23), and Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Birmingham (1.18). The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Aston Manor Academy, just half a kilometre away. The school itself was judged Inadequate in its most recent graded inspection in September 2024, with leadership and management and quality of education both rated Inadequate, while behaviour and attitudes and personal development were marked as Requires improvement. Its early years provision, however, was rated Good. This is a school that has clearly struggled to match the performance of its neighbours, and parents considering it will want to weigh the local alternatives carefully.
