Overview
Overview
Darul Uloom study, secondary education and a college with sixth-form provision meet in Jamia Islamia Birmingham's boys' 11-to-19 route. Qur'an memorisation and Alimiyyah sit alongside GCSE and post-16 study. The current model is day-only: boarding is mentioned as a future possibility, not a present part of the provision.
Years 7 to 11 follow the National Curriculum through a nine-GCSE programme, including triple science, mathematics, business and computer science. After GCSEs, pupils can take A levels or ICT BTEC Levels 3, 4 and 5. Aadab and Akhlaq give the academic route a moral vocabulary alongside aspiration, tolerance and resilience. The available 2025 figures - 71.4% at A level and 64% for GCSE English and mathematics - cover only those measures and are not a complete results set.
There is an important current qualification. In May 2026 safeguarding standards were unmet, while achievement, curriculum, attendance, leadership, personal development and sixth-form provision required attention or urgent improvement. Admissions remain open across year groups, but the serious weaknesses should sit alongside the breadth of the Islamic and academic offer when considering the provision.
