Madani Girls' School

"wow I'm not surprised by the 1 star reviews recently-I went to this school a a decade ago nearly.If you care about your child's welfare at all,if you care about her mental health,if you care about her islamic education. DO NOT send her here! This place will never ever put the students before money and before reputation.Your child will only be a statitistic. My mental health completely declined after leaving this 'institute'. Teachers (never qualified) used bullying tactics,which of course made space for student's to do the same. Facilities were awful and they would only give basic amenities- when ofsted came. Out of all the countless things wrong with this school the headteacher at the time (a random arabic teacher they 'promoted') bullied me and humiliated me every other day.Depending when she saw me.Rest of the teachers were just as bad. Unprofessional to the T. There wasn't a single teacher I could turn to,the whole tree had become poisonous. Adhaab and aqlaaq is hard to come by in this institute. I have edited out any backbiting and slander and just kept it to only some of the injustices,which I have every right to say. If your face fits you'll be okay, if not your in for a trial. None of the teachers here or staff in general practice what they preach. Its a shame this place holds such a poor representation of islam. They would constantly put down public schools when most of us came from public schools? Any public school stand's head and shoulders above this place. Look at the review coming from someone who was here years ago to the reviews left now."

"Ik damn well that the good reviews are the teachers posing as parents like this school is absolutely horrific 1) Favouritism- teachers are so biased and treat students differently due to there opinions about them. 2) Facilities- This school has absolutely no sports equipment, Changing rooms (Girls have to change in the locker room which pupils eat lunch in and they serve the school dinners) 3) Education- The topics the yr 10s are learning about is what you would do in yr 8 and in the test you have no idea what to do. 4) Cleanliness- The cleaning lady does NOTHING but talk on her phone all day and there are mice in the school witnessed by Many students. 5) Qualifications- The teachers are not qualified ( not all) One year the teacher will be teaching citizenship then Islamic studies then math then English and then she will be working in the office 6) Overall- This school is NOT good and you should think twice before sending your child there they fabricate every little thing your child does and sugar-coat the schoo lon parents evenings, Open days etc"

"I am an ex parent of this school of 10 years (both my daughter's studied here) I came across the reviews as my granddaughter will be hopefully joining next academic year. I am disgusted by some of these reviews and it's quite evident they have been composed by children who were forced by THEIR parents to attend from the very colourful adjectives used. My youngest daughter recently graduated from Madani and is currently attending a top Russel group University and is doing very well in life Alhumdulillah. I will always be grateful to this school for helping me raise my daughter in the difficult society we live in today. I'd like to address a few things. Uniform - Every school has uniform policies. If you have an issue with hijab try making sure your tie is worn correctly in other schools. Education - I commend this school for hiring only qualified teachers as I know their fees are the lowest in London (£2550 please fact check your numbers Google is easily accessible) I've had a few concerns over the years how ever have addressed my qualms directly with the school and it's always been seen to. This is standard in any school or organisation -please make sure you communicate with the school. Welfare - Madani have progressed immensely in this aspect, they now have an NHS practitioner on site and Welfare team. The main welfare concern here is parents who are forcing their children to stay in a school which their child doesn't as they'd prefer to be in a different environment away from religion - which is fine we're raising our children in a very tough generation. It's a shame as some of these children are clearly leaving with a lot of hatred which is being deflected at the 4 walls of Madani. If you'd like to confirm my above review or contest it please contact me. I'd be happy to provide factual evidence rather than decorated statements."

"Please do not send your child to this school. I know this probably isn’t the first time your hearing or seeing this, but the fact that majority opinions and reviews of madani are negative shows how bad the school is. I’ve been going for over three years and I’ve had to say my mental and physical health has been affected; badly. And the spiritual side is the worst. I remember I used to go madrasah before I came madani, and from What they taught I absolutely loved Islam and I was so proud to be a Muslim. Ever since I stepped into madani, I’m not surprised that non Muslims think that we are t***orists. First of all, if you don’t know, recently the T4L!B4N have overthrown the Afghanistan government. It’s known that these group of “Muslims” and so called and very extreme. However I was extremely shocked the day a certain teacher came in and indirectly taught us that what the T4L1B4N were doing may be okay. They kept trying to justify their actions by saying “social media is biased by the western people”. That doesn’t Justify the thousands of deaths they have caused. Not to mention this type of mindset it extremely dangerous and teaching it to young impressionable minds? We were not allowed to take notes for those two lessons because they said if ofsted came and checked our books the school would have a risk of shutting down. But I wanted to expose them for their disturbing views so here I am. And I could get in trouble for this but it’s okay because I wan to speak out so other parents don’t make their children suffer through this. We are made to keep our hijabs pinned at the top and we get into trouble when our scarfs, even though all our awra ( parts that should be covered ie. skin, shape of body ) is covered. They shame us for having any type of scarf style other than the old fashioned way of pinning it at the top. I understand if they make us pin it outside, but no, they also make us pin it inside even though it’s a girl school. Teachers have repeatedly told us, and I quote ,”I see girls walking around with their backs or necks or ankles showing and it digusts me”. Imagine how we feel after hearing that? That a small price of our skin revolts them? Honestly there are so many more incidents and complains I have of this disgusting “school” but there are too many to list. Overload of homework, lack of hygiene, bad treatment to students, lack of education and teachers, horrible school uniform that are a hazard, extr3mist outlook and perspective of Islam, negative impact on mental health... I could go on."

"quality of the school 0/10, education 0/10, the way they deal/treat the students 0/10. this school is absolutely disgusting and if you love your child, please reconsider taking them somewhere else. dont waste your money on this "school" its not worth it. this place should be shut down and every student's parents deserves their money back. this school is selfish and keep every penny to themselves, they change nothing in the school and when the girls go toilet you can literally see them through the cracks. this place is an embarrassment and it shouldnt even be open, it shouldnt even be called a school."
