As published by the Examination Collection Services performance tables for Key Stage 4, Islamia Girls' School have done extremely well, with 100% of our students achieving A*- C grades in English, Maths and Science- Alhamdu lillah-.

A school’s performance can be measured in many different ways. GCSE results are one indicator, but these can sometimes be misleading in highly selective schools, which accept only pupils with top Level 5s in their Key Stage 2 SATs, pupils who may be expected to be high achievers in any school.

We are a semi-selective school and pride ourselves in providing excellent education for a wider range of children. As a result we often accept students into Year 7 with Level 4 attainment at Key Stage 2. Nevertheless our GCSE results are excellent, well above the national average, and regularly place us among the top schools in the league tables for Brent.

A more informative measure however, of a school’s contribution to its pupils’ learning is something called ‘value added’.

What is ‘Value Added’? This is a government statistic which looks at the progress made from the time students enter their secondary schools in Year 7 to their eventual attainment in Year 11 (eg GCSEs). It covers all secondary schools, independent and state, selective and non-selective. The last time this statistic was collected for Islamia Girls’ School in 2006, we were placed in top 13% of schools nation wide. Alhamdulillah!

Ofsted Report. We were recently inspected by Ofsted in February 2009 and assessed as Outstanding in 5 out of 6 categories. You can see the full report on Ofsted's official website  or you can view it in a PDF format here (requires PDF reader)
