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.

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.

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.

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.
