Pupils come to school happily each day. They have highly positive attitudes to learning and to school life in general. Pupils appreciate the way that staff look out for their well-being and keep them safe. There is a strong sense of belonging to a kind and caring community at the school. The school’s mission is to combine strong Islamic values with preparation for life in modern Britain. It is ambitious for pupils and encourages them to aim high. Pupils take their studies very seriously. They are keen to do their best. Pupils achieve well, particularly in mathematics, English and science. Relationships throughout the school are warm and respectful. There are clear routines and high expectations of pupils’ conduct. These support pupils to behave extremely well in lessons, at social times and as they move around the school. Pupils’ impeccable manners and strong desire to do the right thing shine through in their interactions with staff and visitors. Pupils play a part in the life of the school through their roles as student councillors. They contribute to the wider community through litter picking or helping out at a nearby ‘curry kitchen’. These roles develop pupils’ character, grow their confidence and prepare them to be active citizens of the future.
