Overview
Overview
Azhar Academy Girls School combines Islamic education with a broad academic and personal-development programme. The registered provision spans ages 3 to 16, while the secondary school is girls-only and linked to a separate primary school. With no boarding or sixth form, the secondary route ends at GCSE age rather than continuing into post-16 study on the same provision.
English Language and Literature, mathematics, sciences, computer science, art, history, Arabic, French, religious studies, citizenship, physical education and geography form the accessible curriculum. IPSHE covers relationships, the world of work, economic and social understanding, and health education. Islamic studies, Aalimah studies and Hifz are distinct strands, though a qualification route for them is not confirmed here.
Punctuality, classroom readiness, care for others and the environment, a merit system, assemblies and a prefect structure led by the Head Girl give school life practical shape. These expectations sit within Islamic Akhlaaq and Aadaab, setting out the intended culture and standards without claiming to represent every pupil's experience.
Applications use an online form. The Year 7 and Year 8 form includes a non-refundable £50 application and entrance-exam fee, with admissions, fee and entrance-exam policies linked alongside it. A clear current fee schedule, assessment specification and detailed facilities account are not confirmed here and need checking before application.
