Overview

About Darul Hadis Latifiah

Darul Hadis Latifiah is a one of the oldest Islamic secondary schools in the UK, founded in 1978. We offer a comprehensive educational experience that integrates the National Curriculum with Islamic studies, fostering both academic excellence and spiritual growth. Our aim is to nurture well-rounded individuals who excel academically while remaining rooted in their faith. We ensure that our students are equipped for future challenges, whether in higher education, their careers, or in serving their communities. We believe in upholding high standards and instilling values that guide students throughout their lives. Our motto, F.A.I.R. (Faith, Aspire, Inspiration, Respect), shapes the character and development of our students. We motivate our students to aim high and reach their full potential, both academically and personally. We expect our students to become sources of inspiration and make a difference in the world around them. We emphasise the importance of students respecting themselves, their peers, teachers, and the broader community. Our curriculum blends the best of both worlds, offering Islamic studies alongside mainstream education. This approach ensures that students excel in GCSEs while gaining a solid foundation in Islamic teachings. We aim to foster the personal growth of our students, cultivating responsible, ethical individuals ready to contribute positively to society. We encourage students to take pride in their cultural identity while developing respect for the diverse society in which we live. Darul Hadis is committed to achieving high levels of academic success, as shown by our impressive exam results and the success of our alumni, many of whom have gone on to prestigious universities and various professional fields. We inspire students to become active, engaged members of their community, prepared to lead with integrity and make a meaningful impact.

Our take

Independent co-ed senior school in Tower Hamlets for ages 11–16. Selective entry, lower fees than the London average.

Best for
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–16, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
  • Families looking for an independent option below the London average for fees.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • 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.
