Overview
Overview
A September 2019 start gave Edenfield Girls' High School a deliberately compact place within Fountains of Knowledge, alongside Edenfield Nursery School and Al-Ikhlaas Primary School. Its 11-16 girls' education joins Islamic ethos to academic, behavioural and moral aims, without boarding or a sixth form.
The 2024 assessment found leadership, education, wellbeing, social and economic education, and safeguarding standards met. The curriculum was balanced but narrow, with individual support for pupils with special educational needs and positive day-to-day relationships between pupils and teachers.
PSHE, relationships education and religious education address Islamophobia, tolerance and women's rights. International Women's Day, police visits, themed days, team-building, termly recreation and outdoor experiences add practical variety to the timetable.
Applications go directly to the Brunswick Street setting. Its girls-only 11-16 range and Islamic character make this a distinct Nelson option, rather than a general all-through route.
