Jamia Al-Hudaa

Jamia Al-Hudaa (Arabic: جامعة الهدی‎‎^[1]) is an Islamic dar-ul-uloom boarding school for girls in Mapperley Park, Nottingham, England.^[2] The school, which opened on 17 August 1996,^[3] states that it is the first Islamic boarding school for girls in the British Midlands.^[4] It uses the Deobandi form of Islam as its ideology.^[5]

Its campus, with about 75,000 square feet (7,000 m²) of space, was formerly the head office of the Nottingham Health Authority.^[2] The school serves ages 10-19, with a boarding programme for those aged 11 onwards.^[6]

History

Ofsted gave the school a general inspection in 2010 and a welfare inspection in 2011, ranking it "good" in both cases.^[6]

In 2014 former student Aliyah Saleem, expelled from the school in 2006, criticized the school, stating that the curriculum was extremist.^[5]

In 2016 Ofsted stated that the school had bullying, a failure to safeguard the students, and poor training of employees, and that due to the "inadequacies" it would have to close its boarding programme. The Times wrote that therefore the school would be forced to end operations. The school asked the parents to remove their children from the campus on October 18 of that year.^[5]

Student body

As of 2015 the school had 243 full-time students including 171 boarding students;^[6] those living on campus made up about 85% of the students.^[5]

Academic performance

As of 2016 25% of its students received five grades in the ranks A*-C in the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations, below the British national average.^[5]
