8 Islamic schools ranked in the top 50 in England
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 05 - 2015

Islamic secondary schools in England are in close competition with private and government schools in the country. Muslim students are excelling in the national academic examinations.

A total of 8 independent Muslim schools were featured in the top 50 schools, based on the scores of the examination league tables for the year 2014. These schools had a 100% pass rate for their students who took 5 or more GCSCE exams.

And for the second consecutive year, the performance of students in over half of Muslim schools featured in the Department of Education league table have surpassed the national average of students. Results show that 71% of the students in Muslim schools across the UK have passed 5 GCSCE or equivalent level subjects, which is higher than the national average of 64%.

Abdullah Keekaeebha, head teacer of Lantern Knowledge Boys' Secondary School said, “Year on year our pupils' attainment has surpasses that of local and national levels with a consistent increase in the proportion of pupils attaining A and B grades.”

Islamia Girls' High School in Brent continues to shine with 100% of their girls achieving passing grades for 5 or more GCSE level subjects, with an average A grade for its students.

The school has met and exceeded national academic requirements, and it has maintained an outstanding status after a series of inspections, and finally a no-notice inspection.

“Not withstanding that new standards for independent schools had come into effect only a few days earlier, this second rigorous inspection within a short space of time concluded that we met the standards, once again confirming our outstanding status,” said the spokesperson for Islamia Girls' High School.

The school attributes its success to the supportive learning environment, the diverse range of subject options as well as the extracurricular activities available to students, all of which are underpinned by excellent teaching. The school added that it follows the philosophy that “education should not be prescriptive; it should be holistic and inspiring.”

Tayyibah Girls School, in Stamford Hill, was ranked as the best performing school in Hackney. The school was also ranked within the top 50 schools nationally.

Head Teacher Nahida Qureshi congratulated all the young girls for their successes and she mentioned the hard work of all the Tayyibah Staff, parents, and caretakers.

In Manchester, all the boys at Kassim Darwish Grammar School received a passing grade for 5 or more GCSE exams.

Examination officer Andrew Crosbie said the results reflected the strong partnership between the staff, parents, and students. Several subjects recorded scores of 100% for the school's students, including English, chemistry, physics, Urdu and art. — Courtesy of The Muslim News
