Dar Ul Madinah

Overview: Dar Ul Madinah is a small independent school providing education for Islamic boys and girls from the age of 5 to 11. The school has a supportive environment, a culture of respect and tolerance, and high expectations for its pupils. Pupils are happy, enjoy their time at the school, and strive to meet these expectations in their behaviour and achievement.

Strengths:

• The school provides a supportive environment where everyone is well known and cared for.
• Pupils respond well to the culture of respect and tolerance built on the school’s values.
• Pupils are happy and enjoy their time at the school.
• The school has high expectations for its pupils, which they rise to meet in their behaviour and achievement.
• Pupils benefit from a range of opportunities to develop themselves beyond the academic curriculum.

Areas to improve:

• The school is not effectively adapting the delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), which prevents these pupils from achieving as well as they could.
• In some subjects, the school has not fully considered where pupils have had less opportunity to secure some aspects of their learning and may have gaps in their knowledge due to recent changes in curriculums.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
