General information

Headteacher: Mohammad Nasrullah.

Inspection: September 2006: 'The school provides a satisfactory quality education by teaching a broad and fairly balanced curriculum. The teaching is good and the assessment of pupils? learning and achievement is satisfactory, which enables pupils to make at least satisfactory progress. The provision for pupils? spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good and the school meets its stated aim of preparing them well to live as responsible citizens in multicultural Britain. The provision for their welfare, health and safety is satisfactory. The school complies with almost all the independent school?s regulations. The school has worked hard to broaden its curriculum that is now satisfactory, and the vast majority of pupils enjoy their education. The school provides a rich linguistic experience by offering Arabic, Urdu and French. The provision for careers education is satisfactory and pupils are fairly well prepared for the next stage of their education. Teaching is good, with some examples of outstanding practice. The school?s managers have prioritised the provision of good quality resources including the recruitment of qualified teachers. There are well established procedures to assess pupils? learning and the school has just begun to develop a rigorous system to track the progress of each individual pupil. Teachers have effective strategies to check pupils? understanding and learning throughout the lessons. However the concluding part of the lesson is not always used effectively for this purpose. Marking is frequent and often diagnostic, but the best practice is not consistently implemented across the school. Teachers involve pupils in assessment and pupils know what level they have reached in core subjects. The school?s managers have developed an effective communication system with parents, who are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. Parents feel they can discuss their views and concerns easily and there has been no need for complaints to date. Should the need arise; the school has comprehensive procedures for making formal complaints. The quality of the annual report on pupils? progress is good and, with the opportunity to meet staff formally twice a year, parents feel well informed of their children?s education and welfare.'
