## **Principal Activities** 

Our vision is to nurture and nourish our pupils so that they contribute to society. 

We hold the firm belief that instilling strong Islamic morals and teachings at an early age in our children will develop them into the productive future members of society that our vision statement aspires. 

We want our children to hold a clear distinction between right and wrong. 

Every aspect of our curriculum has been given meticulous attention with the view to provide the best outcomes for our children. 

The founding members are individuals from various social and ethnic backgrounds, primarily based in the borough of Calderdale. In recognition of the social problems within our community, we supplement the efforts of parents and educators to support our children’s educational success. 

We are currently renovating new premises to accommodate more pupils to serve an ever demanding and challenging catchment area and aim to be operating from the new premises in term 2024.
