Overview
Overview
The Bridge Road branch of the Imam Muhammad Adam Institute combines a mixed primary phase with girls' secondary education. Boys and girls join in Years 1 to 4; Years 5 to 11 are for girls, creating one faith-shaped journey from age 5 to 16. This is a deliberately uneven progression, not a standard mixed all-through model, and it differs from the Institute's separate boys' secondary route at East Park Road.
Islamic and secular learning are held together through the academic programme, PSHE and later Citizenship. Health education and relationships work give space for wellbeing, safety and practical social skills alongside subject study. That combination of shared primary provision and girls-only secondary years gives the Institute a more particular character than its broad age range first suggests.
Entry is direct. The Institute considers information from the child's current setting, aptitude, commitment to the pace of learning and whether it can meet the child's needs. There is no sixth form or boarding. Bridge Road is the mixed primary and girls' secondary route, while East Park Road is reserved for boys in Years 5 to 11; those separate arrangements shape both the intake and the daily community.
