Overview

Darul Uloom Dawatul Imaan brings two courses of study into one boys' boarding institution in Bradford: a school curriculum leading towards recognised examinations and a substantial Islamic programme. The model serves ages 11 to 25 and includes a Sixth Form, so younger pupils, sixth-form students and those continuing into higher Islamic education share one educational community.

The Islamic timetable includes Arabic, Islamic history, Hadith, Tafseer, Fiqh, Urdu and Qur'an memorisation. Alongside it sit English, mathematics, science, citizenship and PSHE, ICT, history, geography, religious education, Urdu, sociology and physical education. Examinations use Pearson Edexcel, OCR, AQA and WJEC, giving the academic strand a defined qualification route.

Enrichment connects study with service and practical life. Charity fundraising, food-bank volunteering, multi-faith activity, museum visits, career events, first-aid training and sports days are all part of the wider programme. The stated ambition is to develop scholars and effective leaders able to serve the Muslim community and wider British society, alongside GCSE and A-level study.

Applications are requested before January with the documents listed on the form. After review, an applicant is called for an interview that includes English, mathematics and Qur'an tests; an offer is followed by enrolment and fee information. The April 2026 outcome was that not all relevant standards were met, an important qualification when considering the school.
