Star King Solomon Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Star King Solomon Academy?
Star King Solomon Academy is a special school in Birmingham, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Birmingham allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Star King Solomon Academy follows a different process from mainstream schools. Birmingham assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Birmingham assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
