Overview
Overview
Excellence Girls Academy gives equal weight to National Curriculum subjects and Islamic and Quranic Studies. Founded in 2019, the girls' provision serves ages 9 to 16. English, mathematics and science take about half of formal teaching time, giving the academic core a substantial place alongside faith-based learning.
Arabic and Urdu sit alongside languages, humanities, ICT, art, physical education, RSHE and Religious Studies. Regular assessment is paired with sport, creative arts and community projects, so the timetable reaches beyond examination subjects. The combination makes the academy's character specific: a girls' education shaped by both academic work and Islamic study.
Applications are made directly and open-day details are available. No separate entrance examination is specified. The provision ends at 16, with no boarding or sixth form, which makes later progression a separate consideration rather than part of an all-through route.
