Star King Solomon Academy
Birmingham, B7 4AA · Birmingham · all-through school
83rd of 85 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 1.9/10 against 223 of them, against 0.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 26.1 · 11 | 46% | 0.49 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.83 · 5 | 38% | 0.20 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 34.1 · 5 | 15% | 0.07 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 26.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 34.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.83 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (1.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join STEAM, ECO-Warriors, Bible, French, Art, Outdoor, Lego, and Food Technology clubs. Sports include swimming, dance, Aston Villa Foundation events, Titan Olympians, and Mini Squash. Arts features the ‘On The Road’ Choir, Young Voices, strings tuition, and theatre productions. Trips visit Millennium Point, Think Tank, and Houses of Parliament. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 401 pupils in a capacity of 1050, leaving 649 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific support is available for pupils who need help with their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club operate for
