A Renewed Vision in Islamic Education

Jamiatul Ummah is one of Da’watul Islam’s most significant projects. An independent boys’ secondary school combining National Curriculum and Islamic Education, it was established in 1997. It occupies part of the Darul Ummah Centre. From 2008, we have opened a Sixth Form.


Jamiatul Ummah School and Sixth Form has achieved Outstanding Status in the recent (27-28 January 2011) Ofsted Inspection. It said about Jamiatul Ummah: “Jamiatul Ummah provides an outstanding quality of education.


Students make outstanding progress and achieve very highly, because they are taught outstandingly well. Students’ behaviour is excellent and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. The school meets its aims exceptionally well and parents and students express a high level of satisfaction with the school’s work. Safeguarding procedures are sound. The school has made excellent progress since it was last inspected and now complies with all but one of the regulations for independent schools.”

Our teachers are professionally qualfied and innovators in their respective fields. We use a unique integrated approach to teaching, combining traditional and modern teaching methodologies.


Given the value to the traditional values of hard work, discipline and respect, students are prepared to participate fully in modern society, qualified to progress to College and University, and ultimately to become fully integrated and highly respected members of the wider community.


We create a stimulating and effective learning environment, using modern teaching methods and technology. Pupils leaving Jamiatul Ummah are securing places at prestigious universities. Our Ex-Pupil Moudud Hussain has recently completed a Masters Degree in Integrated Bio Science at Oxford University and another current pupil Jayed Alam Sarkar from our Sixth Form has been offered a place a Oxford University to study Law.
