Iqra Academy. Peterborough

Iqra Academy. Peterborough National Curriculum girls school underpinned with Islamic ethos Join us in empowering the next generation of Muslims in Cambridgeshire.

The Iqra Academy is set up in order to establish the first Islamic school in Peterborough. It is a non-profit making organisation, which relies on the generous donations from our Muslim brothers and sisters. Iqra academy is the first full-time Independent Islamic girls’ secondary School to be established in the historic city of Peterborough. The academy aims to mould individuals to become well-educated, well-mannered, pious Muslimahs, In sha’Allah. Our aim at Iqra Academy is to enable our pupils to develop a sense of self-value and self-respect as British Muslims and help them to become valued and responsible members of mainstream society. The academy’s main objective is to establish an impressive centre for learning where pupils can receive a balanced education in an Islamic environment that will promote their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development. It is hoped that this will prepare them to enter into the practical world as confident and educated Muslim women, with a strong faith and good moral values. To seek the pleasure of Allah (swt) by providing Islamic education for the children of the community, in accordance with the Noble Qur’an and Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet (saw). To provide excellent full time academic and Islamic education for the Muslim children in Peterborough under the Islamic ethos, regardless of nationality or status. To provide a caring, safe and well ordered environment for girls to develop their educational skills and practice Islam. Ofsted Report:

Year 9 students finding and analysing quotes from ‘The Edge’. If you look closely (pic 2) you’ll see how the students are helping each other understand the task at hand. A truly admirable quality to be able to do well yourself and help others along the way.

Our Years 8, 9 and 10 students were tasked with reading a book with a female character over the summer holidays and complete a poster encouraging others to read it.

This is some of the work Year 9 brought in - they’ll be adorning our school library very soon. Can’t wait to see the other year groups work.
