Overview
Overview
Tawhid Boys School joins a boys-only secondary education with Arabic, Islamic Studies and daily religious practice. The route is for pupils aged 11 to 16, with no boarding or sixth form, and its Islamic setting is visible in the curriculum, congregational prayer and assemblies built around moral themes.
Across Key Stages 3 and 4, pupils study English, mathematics, science, history, geography, computing, art and physical education alongside Islamic history, Arabic and PSHCE. The GCSE route includes English language and literature, mathematics, combined or separate sciences, history, ICT, religious studies, Arabic and business studies. Mixed-ability teaching, differentiation and smaller classes are also part of the approach.
Preparation reaches beyond examinations. WorkSkills, careers development, work experience and the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze and Silver awards sit alongside booster classes. Physical education includes football, athletics, rugby, cricket, tennis, swimming and badminton, while art includes calligraphy, geometry, drawing and painting. The range gives practical and creative work a clear place within the academic week.
Admission is direct and gives priority to siblings and applicants within the designated catchment, followed by other Hackney residents and applicants from outside the borough; distance is used when a category is oversubscribed. New Year 10 applications close at the end of the first term, and new Year 11 admissions are limited to exceptional cases at management's discretion.
