Excellence
Aspiring to achieve the best results is part of Quranic and Prophetic teachings. Within a short span of eighteen years, Jamiah has gone from strength to strength through the Grace of the Almighty together with the pious Duaas of the Muslims and the noble efforts of its staff, students and volunteers.
Jamiah strives to achieve excellence within the academic sphere and has designed its curriculum to this effect. The BSI inspectors commented, “The curriculum is securely grounded in the school’s religious ethos and mission statement. It is of good quality with excellence in the Islamic studies.”
Beyond GCSE, Jamiah delivers A Level courses on site.
Expansion
As a testament to its success and growing influence, Jamiah founded Rawdhatul Ilm Wal Huda — a sister institution for girls continuing the mission of providing quality Islamic and secular education. This expansion reflects Jamiah’s commitment to widening access to holistic education and serving the broader Muslim community across the UK.
Beyond the Classroom
Jamiah believes it is the role of institutions of all religions to counsel their followers with correct advice and information. We do not differentiate between groups and religions — like our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), we are open to advise all groups with the best interests of the individual, Britain and the globe as a whole.
