Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation 277 Saint Ann's Road, London N15 5RG

"I used to go here it was amazing when i was growing up, however it is a far cry from what it used to be due to a change in leadership. The Islamic focus is being shifted to secularism"

"This review is for Al Fatiha, situated within the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation: I am a PhD candidate and lecturer in my field. I have been in academia for a number of years with plenty of teaching experience. I read at Cambridge and did well at school. I know what good quality teaching looks like. My younger sister attended Al Fatiha, and her experience was terrible; start to finish. We had issues with the attitude of the principal, the quality of staff, the curriculum and more. This is a low-grade institution masquerading itself as a place of excellence. I am not against their philosophy nor ethos, as Muslims we ought to champion such endeavours, but this does not have to come at the expense of academic rigour and quality. It is a false dichotomy and there is no such zero-sum game. I would not recommend parents who are serious about their child's education send them here at a costly expense. You can do better."

"Very good school masha Allah certainly helped develop my daughter's basic principles, values and knowledge as a human being and from an Islamic perspective. Sad we had to leave because we moved out of area. Teacher Samia is amazing masha Allah. By Abu Sumaya."

"great school, small class sizes, fees could be a bit cheaper - on the expensive side £3600/yr but its the only islamic school in the area so not much choice. feel like my children are learning good morals and good manners here with good academic progress."

"I had children that attended ISF, I found that they benefited greatly from the smaller classes and bilingual curriculum. This is one of the only schools in London that instills a deep Islamic ethos for children that they carry with them throughout their lives. Strong Islamic practice starts from young."
