Curriculum Overview
Curriculum Overview
The education we provide combines the British National Curriculum with a holistic learning system.
Throughout Years 7 to 11, we strive to ensure each student gains skills, talents and interests across a variety of subjects, as they experience a broad and balanced curriculum within an Islamic framework.
With everything that we teach, we strive to ensure that students develop the ability and inclination for analytical thinking. We want our pupils to think for themselves and not just learn by rote.
Our lessons comply with the requirements of the National Curriculum. You can find out more below.
