Overview
Overview
Hifz and Islamic diploma work are scheduled inside the day at Jamiatul Uloom Al - Islamia, not left as an after-school addition. The boys' 10-to-16 provision has no boarding and pairs that faith-based study with a compact secondary curriculum, small classes and an emphasis on character. It is a non-residential route, distinct from the larger Islamic colleges that combine schooling with boarding.
Years 7 to 9 move between English, mathematics and science, then history, geography, computing, PE, art, music, Arabic and Urdu, together with fifteen weekly periods of Hifz or Islamic diploma study. At Key Stage 4, pupils continue academic, humanities and Islamic subjects through examinations. Literacy and numeracy support, assessment, sport and artistic activity bring structure around the central programme.
Student council work, trips and pastoral mentoring give pupils opportunities to practise responsibility beyond lessons. Entry is direct: applicants submit recent reports and identity documents before an admissions test and interview. The focused age range and absence of a sixth form mean that transition after Year 11 is a practical part of the conversation from the outset.
