Information about this school

The school opened in September 2015 and subsequently, in August 2016, moved into its permanent accommodation, a completely refurbished building.

The school still shares some of its accommodation with a nearby primary school. This arrangement is likely to continue until September 2019. The school is sponsored through Tauheedul Education Trust and the Tauheedul board of trustees oversee the school.

The board of trustees delegates powers to a local governing body. The school is smaller in size than the national average and currently has pupils on roll in four year groups. There are 121 pupils in Year 7, 120 pupils in Year 8, 94 pupils in Year 9 and 55 pupils in Year 10.

Over time, the school will grow to the full secondary age range, with a sixth form due to open in September 2019. The school is open to boys from the Muslim faith, but this is not exclusive, and boys from other faiths or no faith may be admitted. Most pupils are from Indian or Pakistani heritages.

Almost four fifths of pupils speak English as an additional language, which is well above the national average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is broadly in line with the national average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is below the national average.
