🌿 Fieldwork in Action – Geography Lesson
Our students stepped outside the classroom and into the field for a hands-on Geography lesson, where they carried out a quadrat sampling experiment to investigate the abundance of grass species in the area.
This practical activity allowed students to apply their knowledge in a real-world context, developing their data collection and observational skills while exploring the natural environment.
Learning beyond the classroom makes Geography come alive! 🌍
Supporting Student Wellbeing
Our Year 10 students recently took part in a Mental Health Service session during their PSHCE lessons, delivered by Heather Hook from Hook Platform.

During the trip, students travelled by bus to the train station and caught a train to Preston. They also had the opportunity to purchase food and other items independently, visit a post office to post letters, and explore a charity shop where they compared prices.
The trip provided a valuable opportunity for students to build confidence, independence, and gain real-world experience beyond the classroom. 🌟

ALUMNI REVIEWS
My time at Islamiyah brings many positive memories. It was friendly and welcoming environment where you were academically encouraged and a strong work ethic was instilled into you by the teachers. I achieved A* in Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, English lang, English Lit, Arabic, Psychology, Computer Science, and A’s in History, French, Religious Studies and Additional Maths.
I went on to study Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-level (A*A*A), complete my medical degree and a Masters in Healthcare Ethics and Law at the University of Manchester – I am currently working as a doctor.
Throughout my education and career so far I ensure to keep Islam central in my day to day life. Being nurtured in an Islamic environment early on in my educational journey gave me the confidence to always prioritise faith and Islamic principles when stepping out into the world.

Reflecting on my time at Islamiyah, I am filled with gratitude for the positive experiences I had. It was a nurturing and inclusive environment where academic excellence was strongly encouraged, and the teachers instilled a deep sense of dedication and perseverance in us.
I left Islamiyah with level 9’s in the Sciences, Maths, English literature, History, level 8 in Citizenship, Level 7 in English language, A* in RS and ICT, A in Arabic and B in Psychology. I went onto to complete my A-Levels in Maths , Chemistry and Biology for which I attained A*A*A*.
I recently graduated with a first class honours degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Leeds. Throughout my academic journey and now in my professional life, I continue to prioritise my faith and values, which were deeply rooted during my time at Islamiyah. This early emphasis on Islamic principles has given me the confidence to navigate the challenges of the modern world while staying true to my beliefs.

I attended Islamiyah Girls High school from 2015 to 2020. I left with level 9’s in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, level 8’s in English language, English Literature, RS, Further maths, Citizenship, level 7’s in Arabic and History , level 5 in Computer science and B in Psychology.
I then went on to complete my A-Levels at Tauheedul sixth form in Psychology, Chemistry and Biology for which I attained A*AA and I’m now in my third year of studying medicine at the University of Birmingham. I owe a huge part of my success to islamiyah. The constant support, encouragement, and dedication of the teachers not only allowed me to achieve my potential, but also gave me the confidence to pursue career in medicine. Alongside my medical degree, I am also memorising the Quran.
During my time at islamiyah I was provided with many opportunities which challenged me academically and helped shape me into the student I am today.

Their dedication helped me achieve level 9 in the Sciences, Maths, English Language, History, RS and Business, level 8 in Citizenship, English Literature, Arabic and a level 7 in Computer Science which laid the groundwork for my future success.

Alongside my studies, I also memorized the Quran, which by far is my greatest accomplishment.
My time at high school was really positive and it set me up well for the future. The supportive teachers and great learning environment at IGHS helped me to excel in all aspects of my life. Throughout my journey, the strong foundation in faith and values that I built at Islamiyah has continued to guide me. Prioritising my deen and the Quran played a big role in my success, giving me the focus and discipline I needed.

Important Notice – GCSE Results 2025
Background and Department for Education Decision
Islamiyah Girls’ High School is providing clarity regarding the publication of its 2025 GCSE (Key Stage 4) performance data.
Following a detailed review by the Department for Education (DfE), involving three senior leads responsible for performance measures data production, statistical publications and school accountability policy, the DfE has confirmed that the GCSE data originally published for the school does not accurately reflect pupils’ outcomes.
The DfE has formally stated that:
“Whilst it is not possible to correct the data, an exception has been agreed to suppress the published KS4 performance measures to avoid the continued public display of inaccurate information.” (DfE confirmation – January 2026)
Because national systems do not allow retrospective correction at this stage, the DfE has confirmed that suppression is the only mechanism available to prevent inaccurate data being publicly displayed.
What “Suppressed” Means
In this context, suppressed means that the school’s GCSE performance figures will not be shown on national league tables or performance websites. Instead, the data will appear as “SUPP”.
This decision has been taken because the DfE has confirmed that its systems do not allow the data to be accurately updated or corrected at this stage. Suppression has therefore been applied to ensure that inaccurate or misleading information is not displayed publicly.
Importantly, suppression does not indicate weak performance or concerns about standards. It reflects a decision to remove data that does not fairly represent the pupils educated by the school.
The suppression will apply to:
– the Compare School and College Performance website
– national GCSE statistical releases
– both revised and final 2024/25 KS4 publications (January 2026 and April 2026)
