السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

I would like to welcome you to Read Academy. We are a student-centric and unique school in so many ways.

Our inspiring Islamic values framework, our IB-inspired Attributes of Excellence as well as our positive approach to guiding students through their formative years sets the tone for us as a modern British school that is thriving, outward-looking, technology-enabled and community-focused. Our teachers describe the school as a ‘home away from home’ and we provide regular opportunities for continued professional development and take pride in being at the forefront in implementing the best teaching and learning practices.

Our curriculum is rooted in the National Curriculum for England and we uniquely offer high-quality Islamic and Qur’aan Studies as well as Arabic language classes. We have exceptional academic achievement and our students move on to excellent further education and university destinations. We have a broad extra-curricular programme and our school-family partnerships allow us to join hands with charities and to help our students develop empathy, care and civic responsibility through volunteering and giving back to those less fortunate than themselves.

Our school priorities include ensuring that every student at Read feels safe and safeguarding is a foundational imperative. Right from EYFS, every student is enabled to communicate, learn and reflect about themselves, connect with their peers, their community and have an appreciation for their unique and special place at Read.

We welcome you wholeheartedly and look forward to being the most instrumental element in your child’s personalised learning journey.

Warmest regards,

Zoubiya Ahmed

Director
