Education
A broad, balanced curriculum rooted in academic ambition, Islamic ethos, and the long-term development of knowledge, skills, values, and character.
Al-Hikmah's curriculum includes classroom learning, wider school experiences, and structured opportunities that prepare pupils for responsible citizenship and lifelong learning.
"Whoever seeks a way to acquire knowledge Allah will make easy his way to Paradise."
Muslim
The curriculum is treated as a full educational journey, not simply a fixed set of subjects.
The curriculum is not just a fixed body of subject knowledge but a process for the transfer and development of knowledge, skills, concepts, attitudes, and values.
It therefore includes all activities and experiences organised by the school, both in the classroom and outside it.
These priorities guide pupils' learning and development.
The curriculum is designed to be balanced, inclusive, challenging, and coherent.
Throughout Key Stages 3 and 4, pupils study a broad range of subjects.
Islamic ethos elements, SMSC, and cultural capital are embedded across the curriculum for all subjects to reinforce the links between faith and learning.
Islamic learning is a structured part of the curriculum, not an add-on.
As part of Islamic Education, students study Islamic Studies, Classical Arabic, and Hifz or Qur'anic Studies. Students also work towards IGCSE Islamic Studies.
Every pupil studies a core and foundation curriculum alongside Islamic learning.
Core subjects: English, Mathematics, Science
Foundation subjects: Arabic, Geography, History, PE, IT, Art, Music, Citizenship
Other subjects: Islamic Studies and Qur'anic Studies
GCSE and equivalent pathways continue academic breadth while preparing pupils for qualifications.
Non-examination courses: PE
