Overview
Overview
British and Islamic heritage sit together at the heart of Heritage Academy, an 11-16 boys' school with a distinctly secondary focus. The curriculum runs from Key Stage 3 into GCSE preparation rather than through a sixth form. Qur'an recitation, tajweed, hifz and worship form part of the Islamic curriculum, alongside an emphasis on questioning and critical thinking.
Academic study covers English, mathematics, the three sciences, computer science, PE, religious and Islamic studies, Arabic, art, history and geography. GCSE study begins across 12 subjects at Key Stage 4. The setting includes spacious classrooms, a science laboratory and interactive teaching, while the wider programme has included archery, wrestling, chess, golf, skiing, DIY, life skills, football, cricket, reading and nasheeds.
The admissions timetable starts in the autumn term before entry, with in-year applications considered when places are available. A meeting with the headteacher and a visit lead into the application route. Years 10 and 11 are not normally entry points, so the timing of an enquiry matters as much as the fit with the school's academic and Islamic programme.
