Al-Mahad Al-Islami has formed part of Sheffield's Darnall area since 1996. Its girls' provision runs from 11 to 17, includes a sixth form and has no boarding. That longer age span distinguishes it from a five-year GCSE setting, although the available material does not explain the organisation of the post-16 years.
Subjects, qualifications, facilities, enrichment and entry dates are not established by current material. The girls' provision, headteacher, telephone contact and Industry Road base are clear, but they do not justify a fuller curriculum or admissions account. Provision should not be inferred from the age range alone.
A standard inspection began on 15 October 2024, with an outcome dated 24 November 2024. All independent-school standards were met, safeguarding was effective, and the school complied with its registration agreement. Those findings provide operating context but do not establish examination outcomes or the activities and subjects available to pupils.
The most accurate portrait is therefore a Muslim girls' secondary and sixth-form school with a long local history, no boarding and a recent standards outcome. Current entry dates, fees, qualification routes, curriculum detail and sixth-form arrangements need direct confirmation before a place is considered.
