Lady Nafisa School, the only Islamic girls’ secondary school in West Drayton/Hounslow, West London. We are a small school with a big vision we aim to produce balanced, open-minded young British-Muslim women who imbibe a strong Islamic ethos and who are prepared to excel in higher education and contribute to the wider world. Ma Jadda Wajda (whoever strives will succeed) has always been our mantra. The transition from Primary to Secondary is undoubtedly marked by a mixture of excitement and apprehension. It is our priority to ensure students settle in quickly and feel at ease in their new school environment. We appreciate that students have different educational backgrounds and some may well be exposed to a subject for the first time. However, we will support and encourage all of our students to ensure that they are not overwhelmed and achieve their full potential. We have carefully designed a curriculum that aims to cater to the spiritual, intellectual, and worldly needs of the student. To this end, we have placed a strong emphasis on the study of the Arabic language the spiritual and worldly advantages of which are obvious. Moreover, the Arabic language is a wonderful vehicle for sharpening the intellectual powers and connecting the aspiring student to their Islamic heritage: it functions in much the same way as Greek and Latin did in the Liberal education once afforded children in this country. Accordingly, students will throughout their time, be exposed to Arabic daily. By immersing the students in this noblest of tongues, we hope to instill in them that love for the language that attends all those who truly live it. We have also created an integrated Islamic Studies curriculum whereby students take modules in Islamic disciplines like Seerah, ulum al Quran, hadith, fiqh, and so on and after 5 years of intensive study they graduate with an Islamic Studies Diploma. Here at LNS, we aim to produce, with the help of parents, balanced, confident, and open-minded young British-Muslim women. Moreover, we hope to provide them with an understanding of Islam that prepares them to excel in higher education and contribute to the wider world. We aim to provide an Islamic holistic approach wherein the spiritual, moral, and social values we follow are embedded in every aspect of school life. we aim to develop self-motivated learners with an enquiring attitude who aim for the highest standards in all that they do. We aim to create a stimulating and happy environment in which all learners can fulfill their potential and in which we celebrate their achievements in all areas. we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum in which learners can excel and exceed beyond their expectations. At Lady Nafisa School, our core values are based upon the teaching of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him). We aim to provide an education of the highest quality within the context of Sunni Islamic belief and practice. View full school

At LEH we are fortunate to have incredibly supportive parents, friendly and dedicated staff, and children who quite simply love their school! Pastoral care underpins all that we do at LEH Junior School and we strongly believe that a child who feels valued, safe and happy will reach her full potential. Our school is a busy and purposeful place and the girls ‘can-do attitude and intellectual curiosity are infectious. We offer a rich and diverse curriculum that is full of exciting opportunities to try new things, learn new skills and develop their talents. Academic standards are high, and girls generally work in advance of their chronological age and standard year group. We are proud of the fact that when our Year 6 girls move up to our Senior School, they take with them a set of skills and core values that will enable them to confidently and courageously embark on the next stage of their educational journey. Lady Eleanor Holles (LEH) is a remarkable school. It is a school where girls successfully combine impressive intellectual endeavor with enthusiastic engagement well beyond academia. The girls’ public exam results and their sporting achievements are among the best in the country. Their musical and dramatic activities place them among the best of young performers. And most importantly of all, their stimulating and happy approach to all they do makes LEH a joy for me to lead. There is so much more to LEH life than academic achievement: if young women left here with excellent exam results alone, we would be disappointed. Our goal is that LEH girls become expert learners, unafraid to tackle new and challenging ideas, prepared to take risks, and able to learn from failure. Our school motto “Hope Favours the Bold” sums it up beautifully – at LEH, girls learn to be courageous and ever hopeful, optimistic, and determined in all that they do. Throughout its 300 year history, LEH has produced many remarkable women. If you think your daughter would enjoy joining their ranks, please come and visit us. Only by seeing the school in action will you get a true flavor of all that an LEH education offers. We want LEH to be a place where girls and young women take risks and become bold a place where they can discover their passions and talents. They can only do this in a culture where they feel safe, supported, and respected by the entire school community. That's why we encourage our girls to experiment and express opinions why we give them the freedom to be exactly who they are, supported by strong role models and inspired by their peers. In doing so, they build the skills they need to succeed throughout their lives. They stretch themselves to become their best most confident selves - as students, and as citizens of the world. Pupils at LEH often comment that the two years they spend in the Sixth Form is a time of almost unparalleled excitement and diversity. The study of four subjects in the Lower Sixth forms the bedrock of the girl's academic experience. Also, pupils benefit from a staggering range of other challenges, trips, and opportunities, each of them deepening and enriching their personality and their outlook on the wider world. The girls are independent thinkers, many of whom develop a high level of knowledge and expertise in areas of personal interest through completion of the Extended Project Qualification. As well as academic lessons, girls learn by taking part in activities such as sport, music, drama, Young Enterprise, Combined Cadet Forces. Mentoring younger pupils will deepen and enrich your outlook on the wider world. Girls develop leadership skills by taking on roles within our House system and on committees, such as Model United Nations. These experiences stay with girls for the rest of their lives. LEH girls leave for university well-rounded, grounded, and intellectually curious, and go on to thrive in a range of academic settings and equally retain a key concern for their role both within and beyond the school community. They know how to realize their full potential, contribute to their communities and retain a sense of fun, purpose, and direction in everything they do. The Sixth Form environment which exists at LEH is certainly a remarkably diverse, stimulating, and enjoyable one. The school aims to help every child achieve her full potential, and so is keen to identify any special educational needs as soon as possible in a pupil's school career. There is a screening program for all new entrants to the school and follow-up help in terms of learning support and further assessment is offered, if necessary, by the school's Learning Support Consultant. Most needs at LEH relate to mild cases of dyslexia and dyspraxia. Every effort is made to ensure that all pupils are adequately supported in all areas of school life. There are some girls in the school for whom English is not the first language, i.e. the language spoken at home. Help may be given in school or, if considered necessary, outside tuition to improve language levels may be suggested to parents. If parents have any concerns, they should contact the SEN coordinator for Junior School matters and the Head of Learning Support for Senior School matters via the School Reception. In the case of a prospective pupil with a statement, the school would positively approach their needs, and seek to make all reasonable adjustments. View full school

Our commitment is at three levels: Pupils Teachers Community We strive to provide a caring, secure environment in which each pupil can discover and realize their potential. We wish to develop strength of character and confidence by stressing the pursuit of excellence and concern for others. We seek to educate the whole person, academically, socially, spiritually, and morally through a curriculum based on Christian principles and centered on the needs and aspirations of our pupils. We endeavor to promote the dignity of each individual who is a child of God, endowed with their gifts and talents. We recognize that commitment to service is integral to Catholic education. We share the task of promoting gospel values, thus preparing our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adult life. As a Catholic community, we are part of a local, national and universal Church, dedicated to ensuring that our pupils grow to an understanding of their Faith in a Catholic environment, where the caliber of religious teaching and quality of life will be formative in the hearts and minds of young people. Fundamental to successful education is the partnership between governors and staff, pupils and parents, parish, and the wider community. View full school
