Our take

Independent boys senior school in Brent for ages 11–16. Selective entry, Muslim ethos.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–16, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
  • Families who value a Muslim ethos in school life.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • The Muslim ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
