We are an accredited member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA). From March 2023 the school is regulated by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). ISI is appointed by the Department for Education to inspect association independent schools in England. ISI inspections report to the Department for Education on the extent to which the statutory Independent School Standards are met.
“Al-Furqaan Prep School, in line with its stated aims, enables pupils to feel happy, safe and secure in an Islamic environment. Pupils feel nurtured in faith and valued as individuals.”
“Governors oversee the school effectively so that leaders have the skills and knowledge to deliver a suitable curriculum that promotes the wellbeing of pupils in a safe environment.”
“Pupils exhibit a clear sense of morality and accountability for their actions. They demonstrate respect for diversity within their school and the wider community and a secure understanding of British values.”
“Pupils are equipped with the skills and knowledge as responsible and hardworking citizens and are well prepared for life in British society and the opportunities that lie ahead for them.”
“Leaders’ high expectations and encouragement of pupils to be the ‘best they can be’, and additional support for pupils' examination performance in their final year, ensure that pupils are well prepared for their transition to the local senior schools.”
“Throughout the school, leaders promote a calm and respectful learning environment for the pupils. Pupils are kind and courteous to each other and listen attentively to their teachers. The school's ethos aligns closely with its faith values, which all members of the school community respect.”
“Pupils' behaviour reflects the faith values that leaders promote. Mutual respect is at the centre of the school’s ethos, and the positive interactions between pupils and staff are built upon these shared values.”
Early Years – “An emphasis on identifying the distinctive characteristics and interests of every child fosters an environment where natural curiosity and creativity are encouraged and nurtured.”
Early Years – “Children benefit from a happy and engaging learning experience under the guidance of experienced and caring staff. They are supported to follow their interests and consequently children are engaged in their learning and build positive relationships based on mutual respect and kindness.”
Early Years – “Good behaviour is constantly praised, and children are encouraged to build healthy friendships by using thoughtful and caring language with each other. They behave in a considerate and respectful way towards those around them.”

Our last inspection was in March 2024 conducted by the ISI, where we were to certified to meet all the required standards. A feat we are extremely proud of.
