About Us
School Background
We take immense pride in our heritage as a well-established part of the Dewsbury and Batley community, where former pupils have even returned as parents. This history reinforces our belief that education is not just about knowledge; it is about building relationships and fostering a sense of belonging, kindness, consideration, respect for one another, guide our interactions and shape our school culture. We encourage our children to explore ideas, reason through problems, explain their thinking, and justify their conclusions. This approach enhances their ability to make informed decisions and cultivates the skills essential for lifelong learning and personal development. Alongside supportive governors and engaged parents, we share high expectations for our children and take pride in the warm, caring ethos that defines our school community.
At Al-Furqaan Preparatory School, we integrate our Islamic faith into our educational ethos, nurturing our children’s morality and Imaan (faith). Our teaching emphasises academic excellence while instilling a strong sense of empathy, honesty, and moral responsibility. We believe that strengthening our relationship with Allah, understanding the essence of our faith, and embodying Islamic values are essential components of a well-rounded education. Our commitment to keeping our children safe and promoting citizenship skills prepares them for life in modern Britain while grounding them in their beliefs and values.
Our mission at Al-Furqaan Preparatory School is clear: to provide outstanding teaching and learning experiences that create the very best opportunities for our children, both in and beyond the classroom. Our approach is innovative, engaging, and fun—designed to capture the interests of our pupils while extending their knowledge and skills. Through this, we aim to raise aspirations, inspire a lifelong love of learning, and create cherished memories together.
Thank you for choosing Al-Furqaan Preparatory School. We look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey.

Values
Education | Morality | Imaan
The core values of Al-Furqaan Prep School reflect our commitment to both academic excellence and spiritual growth.
We strongly believe that an education rooted in Islamic principles will instil in students’ self-confidence, self-belief, and high aspirations for the future.
British Values
We strive to provide a comfortable and relaxed environment where all students study subjects from the National Curriculum within an Islamic framework. There is a strong focus on spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, as well as the teaching and promotion of British Values, where children learn about democracy, individual liberty, respect for the rule of law, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths or no faith.
Our educational program is designed to cultivate respect, honesty, responsibility, integrity, self-discipline, and develop characteristics in individuals which will enable them to be good citizens who make a positive contribution to the wider community.
We try our utmost to ensure all pupils are safe, happy and healthy, and enjoy their learning journey with us. In an establishment where every child matters, all students will Insha Allah have an opportunity to develop to their full potential.
