Overview

An Islamic ethos, a boys-only secondary route and a deliberate welcome to students from all faiths and none define Rida Boys High School. Formed in 2019, it serves boys aged 11 to 16 as a day provision without a sixth form. The aim is to combine academic learning with moral education and preparation for life in a diverse British society.

English, mathematics, science, history, geography, religious education, active citizenship, physical education and Arabic form the named curriculum. Communication, confidence and responsibility sit alongside subject knowledge, with Islamic and British values woven through the wider educational programme rather than left to a single lesson.

The week extends beyond the timetable. Assemblies, PSHE, a weekly Living Islam session and prayer are joined by careers events, educational visits, charity work, a food-bank connection and a two-week Year 10 work-experience programme. Sports Day, clubs and other enrichment give pupils practical ways to test independence and contribute to the community.

Applications are made online and the provision remains boys-only, non-boarding and focused on ages 11 to 16. A standard inspection on 16 April 2024 judged the school Good and found the relevant standards met. That combination of faith, service, work experience and ordinary examination subjects gives Rida a recognisable educational identity.

Key points
Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
