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
