Overview
Overview
Small classes of no more than 10 pupils give Cambridge Muslim Secondary School a close-grained academic and pastoral model for girls in Cambridge. The non-profit school joins secondary education with spiritual and personal development, shaping daily life through Islamic principles, British values, character, leadership, community service and prayer.
English, mathematics, science, geography, history and computer science form the academic core. Arabic and Islamic Studies add Qur'an, Hadith, fiqh and the life of the Prophet Muhammad, while citizenship and PSHE cover democracy, government, law and active participation. Art and design and physical education broaden the curriculum.
The scale of the school supports individual attention and close teacher-pupil relationships. Physical education, extracurricular activities, student leadership, charitable giving and outreach bring the stated values into practical life. Reflection and service are part of the culture alongside subject learning.
The direct application route is based at CQC on Radegund Road. Families can use the current application form and attend events such as the 2026 taster day; the form requests pupil and parent or guardian details before an application is considered. Admissions and fee arrangements are supplied directly by the school.
