King Solomon High School

03/09/2026

Welcome to our new Year 7 – Class of 2026!

Today, we were delighted to welcome our brand-new Year 7 students as they began their King Solomon High School journey.

Their first day was packed with activities, opportunities to make new friends and plenty of excitement. The day began with an assembly where students met their new form tutors, Miss Mehta and Miss Ramsay, as well as their Head of Year, Mrs Worthing. They also met Rabbi Sufrin, who spoke poignantly about the ethos and values of our school and, in keeping with tradition, blew the shofar.

There was, of course, some essential housekeeping to take care of too! Students had their photographs and fingerprints taken so they could access our school systems, as well as completing English and maths assessments. There was also plenty of time throughout the day to get to know one another and socialise with their new classmates during break and lunchtime.

The day concluded with a high-octane treasure hunt, designed to test the students’ knowledge of the school site. Armed with their trusty maps, students worked independently or in small groups, navigating their way around the building, solving puzzles and following clues.

There were smiles all round as we brought the day to a close and waved our new Year 7 students off after what was a brilliant first day.

GCSE RESULTS DAY 2026

King Solomon High School is celebrating its strongest set of GCSE results for a number of years, following a fantastic morning for students, families and staff.

Headteacher Jonathan Harris said:

“I have only been Headteacher at King Solomon for a short time, but this morning I had the privilege of seeing something that staff here have spent years working towards. These are the strongest GCSE results the school has seen for a number of years, and I am incredibly proud of our students. Behind every result is a young person who has worked hard, overcome challenges and earned the opportunity to take their next step with confidence.
But great results do not happen by accident. Our teachers and support staff have invested countless hours in these young people – through additional lessons, revision sessions, encouragement, phone calls home and, above all, simply refusing to give up on them. Today is their achievement too.
Seeing the smiles, hugs and celebrations around school this morning has been wonderful. To our Year 11 students: enjoy today, be proud of what you have achieved, and know that everyone at King Solomon is enormously proud of you.”

On the evening of Thursday 16th July, we held our annual Achievement Evening, celebrating the outstanding accomplishments of our students across a wide range of categories. The hall was filled with proud parents and carers who joined us to recognise, celebrate and honour our students' hard work and success as a school community.

Awards were presented for Progress and Achievement in every subject, alongside a number of special awards, including the Head of Year Awards, Library Award, Kehila Award, Sporting Excellence Award, Tuition Awards, Jack Petchey Awards, the Alan Sennitt Upstanders Leadership Programme Awards, and the prestigious Headteacher's Award.

On Wednesday 15th July, Year 7 and Year 10 students enjoyed an action-packed trip to Nuclear Wild Forest in Brentwood.

Students spent the day tackling two exciting outdoor adventure activities: the famous muddy obstacle course and the exhilarating high ropes course. Year 7 completed the obstacle course in the morning while Year 10 headed straight for the high ropes, before swapping activities after lunch so that everyone had the opportunity to experience both.

The Nuclear Wild Forest obstacle course challenged students to climb, crawl, balance, splash and navigate a series of muddy obstacles that tested their resilience, teamwork and determination. And of course, no visit would be complete without taking on the famous Death Slide, where students raced down the steep slope before making a spectacular splash into the water below. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day!

The High Ropes course saw students put their balance and bravery to the test as they tackled three levels of aerial obstacles on the thrilling zip trek. Supported throughout by qualified instructors, students encouraged one another and pushed themselves beyond their limits.

The trip provided a fantastic opportunity for students to step outside their comfort zones while developing resilience, teamwork and self-confidence. They embraced every challenge with enthusiasm, determination, and a positive attitude, making the most of every moment.

Students returned home with muddy clothes, tired legs, and, most importantly, fantastic memories of an unforgettable day.

Meanwhile, students at Colchester Zoo spent the day discovering an incredible variety of animals from around the world. As they explored the zoo's diverse habitats, they learned about wildlife conservation, endangered species and the importance of protecting our natural environment. The trip offered a wonderful blend of education and enjoyment, with plenty of opportunities to observe animals up close and spend time with friends.

Those who travelled to the Harry Potter Studio Tour enjoyed an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience of the world-famous film series. Students explored authentic sets, admired the incredible costumes and props, and discovered the creativity and craftsmanship that brought the magical world of Harry Potter to life. From walking through the Great Hall to seeing iconic locations such as Diagon Alley, the visit was both inspiring and memorable.

Students visiting Stubbers Adventure Centre embraced a day full of adventure, taking part in a range of exhilarating activities including rock climbing, zip wiring and kayaking, alongside a variety of fun team-building challenges. The day encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence and resilience, and work together to support one another throughout each activity.
