Overview
Overview
STRIVE - spirituality, tolerance, resilience, initiative, virtue and exploration - gives Jameah Academy its organising language. Founded in 2001, the girls' 5-to-16 day provision keeps Islamic formation close to the academic day. It has no boarding or sixth form; a small single-form entry makes the setting deliberately close in scale and limits the number of places.
In the secondary years, Qur'an lessons sit beside English, mathematics, science, history, citizenship, Arabic, geography, computing, art and PE. Tahfizul Quran or Alimiyyah Studies can run alongside academic work. The Year 11 route can lead to up to nine GCSEs, including English, mathematics, combined science, history, citizenship and Arabic, with Business Studies or Art as further options; an iGCSE in Islamic Studies begins in Year 9.
STEM activity, competitions, project work, leadership, culture day and inter-faith day broaden the timetable. Above-national GCSE results, careers support and work experience were recorded in January 2025, while senior co-curricular choice was identified as limited. Entry uses an application, assessment and interview for candidates who progress.
