An outstanding school situated in the heart of Manchester. Since 1991 the Manchester Islamic Educational Trust has been serving the needs of the Muslim community to provide outstanding Islamic education and academic education in a caring and nurturing environment. We at MIHSG believe that our daughters are the passport to our future, and we all have a responsibility to develop young British Muslims who are proud of their identity and go on to serve their local communities.
We at Manchester Islamic High School for Girls demand academic excellence. We believe in the importance of education being delivered to our daughters in a warm, safe, and Islamic environment. We strive because we believe our daughters deserve to receive the best education, giving them the skills to flourish beyond the classroom and develop into strong Muslimahs that will benefit the Ummah and wider society.
Manchester Islamic High School for Girls is an all-girls Islamic Independent school set in Chorlton, Greater Manchester. The school delivers Islamic Education and the National Curriculum within a caring and nurturing environment, following an Islamic ethos and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Manchester Islamic High School for Girls is a high achieving independent all-girls Islamic secondary school catering for the 11-16 age range in central Manchester. The school has been running for over 20 years, under the Manchester Islamic Education Trust in coordination with Manchester Muslim Preparatory School and Kassim Darwish Grammar School for Boys.
We believe that we at MIHSG provide the girls with the best balance of Islamic and academic education to allow them to be successful in the akhirah as well as the Dunya. Pupils at MIHSG develop into strong, independent Muslim women who are confident in living in Britain with their Muslim identity.
When completing the Common Application Form (CAF), received from your Local Education Authority it is not necessary to list MIHSG as one of your choices, as we an independent school. As the school cannot guarantee a place, it is very important that you also apply to other schools in your area.
The school receives a huge volume of application forms, for 50 places that are available in Year 7. Parents should be aware that places are not guaranteed and are based on your daughter's entrance exam results and an interview with the Headteacher.
Students are not allocated places under the distance criteria. In this way, a chance of being educated at MIHSG is still offered to pupils who may live further afield and in neighboring local authority areas. Siblings at any of the three schools run by Manchester Islamic Educational Trust are given priority .i.e. Manchester Muslim Preparatory School and Kassim Darwish Grammar School for Boys. Siblings are considered to be full brothers or sisters who will be living permanently with them at the same address.
Reserve List The school will hold a waiting list for applicants who have been successful in the assessment process but have not been offered a place. If a place becomes available, places will be allocated from this reserve list that has been vacated and strictly in order of the admissions criteria.
Parents wishing to admit their daughters at MIHSG in others year groups (8 10) should follow the standard application process and complete a registration form. Year 10 admissions only take place in the Autumn term, in exceptional circumstances we would offer places during the year. MIHSG does not admit pupils in Year 11.
Alhamdulillah, through the grace of Allah along with the support of the parents and the local community, Manchester Islamic High School for Girls has been able to make great strides over the past 20 years. We at MIHSG believe that a strong relationship between the school and the parents is the key to success. We understand and appreciate that we both want the best for our daughters, therefore by giving parents a platform and a voice we can work together.
Parents are welcome to visit the school and speak to their daughter's teachers. Every year group will have at least one parents evening a year, in Year 10 there is an additional Consultation Evening to discuss the GCSE options your daughter is taking and parents of daughters in Year 9 have the opportunity to also attend an Options Evening.
Our school takes numerous opportunities to actively promote British Values through collective worship and whole school systems and structures such as electing and running our School Council. We also actively promote British values by ensuring that our curriculum planning and delivery includes real opportunities for exploring these values. The school does, though a wide range of activities, secure such standards and uses strategies within the National Curriculum and beyond to secure such outcomes for pupils.
