The school prides itself for being an institute that offers both a comprehensive Islamic Theology Course and Secondary curriculum. We aim to connect the curricula as much as possible within the school, such tFiat the teaching of the secondary curriculum is not divorced and separated from Islamic concepts., rather it is enhanced by introducing Islamic concepts.

Islamic Theology Course), our studenls enjoy increased opportunities.

This is achieved by actively promoting attitudes such as respect for rule of law, individual liberties, democracy and mutual respect for different faith5 and beliefs and for those without faith-, all of which constitute fundamental British values. In addition, the school seeks to empower students and provide them with a strong religious and British identity where they feel confident of both Iheir religious and British identity- The school has a friendly atmosphere where the students learn and adapt to get on with others, have the opportunity lo meet girls from different cultural backgrounds. improve their interaction and communication skills, learn independen and increase their faith.
