Reference request concerning splitting fields for groups that are related to special symmetric groups

Denote the symmetric group of order $n!$ by $S_n$. Let $H:=S_p$ for an odd prime $p$. Every finite field $k$ is a splitting field $(^*)$ for $kH$, in particular $k:=\mathbb{F}_p$. Questions: Is $k:=\...
