Overview
Overview
Literacy and numeracy are the foundation of The School of the Islamic Republic of Iran's mixed provision for pupils aged 6 to 16. The independent community has a Muslim religious ethos. The current on-roll figure needs confirmation: 72 and 74 are both in use, with 74 attached to May 2026.
The curriculum is broad, with leaders identifying the knowledge pupils should learn at each stage and reviewing teaching as pupils progress. Pupils at an early stage of learning English receive bespoke language support, helping them access the wider programme while literacy and numeracy underpin daily study.
A settled culture shapes the day. Attendance was significantly above the national average, and pupils were described as mature, responsible and polite. In lessons they listened carefully; around the setting they moved calmly and managed their behaviour well. Staff work with families and professionals when additional support is needed.
The provision is non-selective and has no boarding, keeping the focus on a mixed daytime community for ages 6 to 16. In May 2026, safeguarding, premises, information, complaints arrangements and leadership-management standards were met, while widening professional links remained an area for development.
