Al-Mizan School

Overview:

Al-Mizan School is a selective junior school with a Muslim ethos, where pupils' academic learning goes hand-in-hand with their personal achievements. Pupils are successful in both, especially in their attitudes and understanding of how to behave with integrity. The school's broad-minded ethos provides pupils with a 'code of conduct' that emphasises respect and tolerance for others.

Strengths:

• Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are first-rate.
• The school's ethos provides pupils with a strong and purposeful code of conduct that promotes respect, tolerance, and the importance of education.
• The curriculum is designed to help pupils gain the skills and understanding they need to flourish in the future.
• Pupils' wider development is supported through the extensive range of visits and trips.

Areas to improve:

• The curriculum for some foundation subjects is not implemented as effectively as the school intends, because teachers do not have enough expertise in these subjects to ensure that pupils develop their knowledge and skills securely.

Safeguarding:

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
