Overview
Overview
Green Oak Academy brings Islamic teaching into the ordinary school day for girls aged 11 to 16. Salah, Sawm, Qur'an recitation and Islamic beliefs are accommodated in the timetable, alongside the academic curriculum. The stated ethos links academic advancement with spiritual and moral development, and places confidence, judgement, responsibility, kindness, integrity and charitable activity at the centre of daily life.
The setting has no Sixth Form or boarding provision. Academic study is joined by practical and creative activity: named examples include a science day, GCSE art work, a GCSE geography field trip and cake sales. These activities give the girls' day school a community dimension while keeping examination study in view.
The family spirit extends responsibility across staff, pupils and parents. Welfare and charitable activity sit alongside mutual respect, with religious practice supported both in school and at home. The result is a clearly defined faith-based model rather than a general academic offer with optional religious enrichment.
Year 7 applications are being considered for September 2026, with direct contact and an application procedure. All relevant standards were met in November 2023, with safeguarding effective. The route leads into a girls-only 11-16 setting where academic, Islamic and community strands are designed to operate together.
