PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

Palm Tree School opened in September 1999 as Al-Asr Primary School. It changed its name to Palm Tree School in September 2012 indicating that it no longer had formal links with the previously associated AlAsr Mosque. The trustees of the mosque remain the landlords of the Nursery and Reception building. The school states that its aim is ‘to provide a healthy learning environment in which the children feel comfortable and secure. A place where: – children advance in self-discipline and good manners as espoused by the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) – children can build on and extend their knowledge and support and broaden their experience of the world, within the school and the community with parental support through a working partnership of home and school – children develop respect and understanding for each other within our school, local communities and the wider world – children can develop lively and enquiring minds and work for academic excellence in a balanced atmosphere, musing the National Curriculum.’ The school is registered for up to 123 pupils. At the time of the inspection, the school had eight two-year-olds attending part time. The school has not received written confirmation or approval from the Department for Education for the change in agerange. One pupil has a statement of educational needs. All pupils come from Muslim families. They have a range of different ethnic and linguistic heritages. A minority of pupils speak English as a second language, although few are at an early stage of learning English. The school has two sites. Pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2 moved to new premises in January 2015, with the Nursery and Reception classes remaining in the school’s previous building. The two sites are about one mile apart. The school was previously inspected by the Bridge Schools inspectorate on 29 June–2 July 2015. The Inspection report: Palm Tree School, 7–9 October 2015 7 of 10 most recent visit by Ofsted was to undertake an emergency inspection on 15 October 2014. The school has a sole proprietor.
