Values and Vision
Al-Hijrah has always prided itself on providing an excellent education in an Islamic context. It focuses on "Tarbiyah", an Arabic word meaning development, increase, growth and loftiness, to help train its pupils and develop all aspects of their personalities, be those intellectual, spiritual, moral, social or physical. The school's five main aims are for students to be dedicated Muslims, confident and happy individuals, successful and independent learners, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
The school provides a number of extracurricular activities, ranging from PE and table tennis to language classes in Arabic and Urdu.
Ofsted
“The safety of pupils is given a very high priority. Safeguarding procedures are highly effective in creating a safe culture in the school. Improvements to the curriculum have been made and pupils now have the opportunity to learn computing, art, drama and sound studies (music) across the school and to learn about other faiths and cultures. Governance is highly effective through the knowledgeable and experienced interim executive board, led exceptionally well by the Chair, who has a clear vision for how to improve the school."
