Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

Alhamdulillah! We are thrilled to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our students in the 2026 GCSE Results!

Through hard work, dedication, and the grace of Allah (SWT), our students have achieved a phenomenal 87% Pass Rate, far surpassing both the regional and national averages:

Olive High: 87% Pass Rate
England National Average: 67.3%
Burnley Local Average: 50.7%

This milestone stands as a testament to our ongoing commitment to providing top-tier Islamic and academic education, reflected in our status as an Ofsted Outstanding Provider.

A heartfelt thank you to our hardworking pupils, dedicated teaching staff, and supportive parents for making these results possible.

May Allah (SWT) grant our students continued success in their future academic and personal journeys. Ameen 🤍

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 ✨
