Admissions criteria

King Solomon Academy is a non-denominational, non-selective school for local children. If the academy is oversubscribed, priority will be given to students with statements of special educational needs, where the academy is named on the statement. The remaining places will then be offered in the following order of priority:

  • children who are in public care;
  • children who have a sibling who already attends the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission (for this purpose "sibling" means a whole, half or step-brother or step-sister resident at the same address);
  • children who live closest to the school, using a straight line distance from the main entrance of the academy to the main entrance to the child’s home.

The academy keeps a waiting list which is used to fill casual vacancies occurring if students leave during the year, or withdraw from a place that has been offered.

 

Appeals

Parents/carers who are not offered a place for their child may appeal to an independent committee under the provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act, 1998. Parents/carers wishing to appeal should contact the Westminster admissions team who will be able to advise them on the process.

 

Free School Meals

Some parents may be entitled to recieve free school meals for their children. In order to determine if you are eligible please check the requirements at Westminster City Council's free school meals information page.

If you meet the requirements and would like to apply then please fill in the application form and return it to the school or directly to Westminster Council.
