Eden Girls' School Waltham Forest

[EduCativ]

As a Hadeeth (narration) from the prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) teaches us, “People are like treasures – just like treasures of gold and silver.” As we know, gold and silver do not simply come out of the ground ready to be made into jewelry. Much effort is spent finding the gold and extracting it from the ground. Craftsmen then labor for hours on end to turn it into something of beauty. At Eden Girls’ School, Waltham Forest our aim is simple – we want to provide the best education, opportunities, and support to enable your child to flourish and succeed.

We will provide a school where high-powered learning, progress, and achievement is coupled with a commitment to wider personal progression, including the development of character and an intelligent moral, spiritual, and ethical compass. We aspire to develop learners who are outstanding human beings, active and participatory citizens, and exemplary members of their community – contributing to the development of a successful and prosperous society.

The school opened in September 2014 with 150 girls in Year 7 and Year 8. This year we welcomed another 100 girls and next year our role will expand to 120 students per year group in response to local demand. Also, we will be opening a 200 place sixth form in 2018. The first few cohorts will be in a privileged and unique position to be the founding year groups in the school. Not only will they receive individualized and personalized attention, but they will also be at the forefront of receiving a vast range of leadership opportunities as the founding and oldest school members – a hugely exciting opportunity for young people.

Our mission, To promote a culture of educational excellence, from within a caring and secure Islamic environment enriched with the values of discipline, mutual care, and respect, which extends beyond the school into the wider community.
