The Olive Project

The Olive Project Umbrella organisation for Olive High Islamic Girls School. Serving the community of Burnley through education, support and guidance.

Olive High is Burnley’s first girls Islamic secondary school. Established in 2017, our mission is to produce confident and compassionate people. Through teaching excellence, supportive pastoral care and experience of our environment, we encourage individual success for community good. We began with only 18 students. As of September 2020, we have 144. Due to rapid growth, our existing site is now a

t capacity. After many years of searching and prayers, we have finally found a new site for Olive High. It is the former Burnley College building on Ormerod Road. This site will allow us to cater for up to 450 female students and do more for the community. An Islamic girls school of this size is unprecedented for Burnley. Join the Olive project and be part of something amazing and transformational.

Alhamdulillah, we were honoured to host our Qur’an Hifz Competition at Olive High yesterday.

A few months ago, 20 Olive High students took on the incredible challenge – with courage and dedication – to memorise the entire Surah Al-Baqarah.
Masha’Allah tabarakAllah, what an outstanding achievement.

Every participating student received a prize, with cash awards as follows:
🥇 1st place: £250
🥈 2nd place: £150
🥉 3rd place: £100

Alhamdulillah, this competition has inspired many of our students to now begin their journey towards completing the full Hifz of the Qur’an Kareem. May Allah place barakah in their efforts, Ameen.

To mark this beautiful milestone, delicious food was served to students and parents, celebrating their hard work and success together.

May Allah reward our students, families, and teachers abundantly. Masha’Allah ✨
