Darul Hadis Latifiah

For more than 40 years, Darul Hadis Latifiah has combined mainstream education with an intensive Islamic programme for boys. The London school serves pupils from age 11 through an age range reaching 20, includes a Sixth Form and has no boarding provision. Its identity is that of both an independent school and an Islamic institute, with the two strands occupying the same educational route.

The academic curriculum includes GCSE mathematics, English language and literature, religious education, history, science, Arabic and Bengali, alongside citizenship, physical education, geography and computing. That gives pupils a defined examination base while keeping language and religious study visible in the weekly pattern.

Islamic learning develops over five years from Year 7. Fiqh, Aqeedah and Islamic history sit alongside selected Hadith and daily religious practice, connecting subject knowledge to conduct and moral character. The Alim Course is important enough to form part of the admissions conversation, especially for applicants moving into the later years.

Applications begin online with a recent school report. Applicants take English and mathematics tests, and an interview may follow to consider whether the Alim Course is suitable. When a place is available, the school normally communicates the outcome within a week. The direct route and the absence of boarding make the intended year and daily travel important practical details.
