This is a school where pupils know they belong. They know that staff care about them and want them to be successful. Pupils trust staff to support them in their studies and when they need extra help of any kind. Pupils enjoy school, feel safe and attend regularly. Pupils study an appropriate range of subjects in all years. Leaders have worked hard to improve the curriculum since the school was last inspected. However, there is more to be done before the school provides a good quality of education. Pupils do not study enough content in key stage 3 in some subjects. They finish Year 9 not knowing enough in these subjects. Pupils demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning. They work hard and are keen to do well. Their behaviour is exemplary. Pupils are sensible, polite and courteous to each other and to adults. Relationships are respectful throughout the school. Staff do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour, such as bullying. They deal with any such issues quickly and effectively. The school places great emphasis on preparing pupils for life as young Muslim men in modern Birmingham. Pupils learn about what it means to be a good citizen. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils’ conduct and attitudes. Pupils rise to these high expectations.
