Shifa Secondary Girls School

By the grace of Allah Ta'aalaa, Shifa School is the vision of a select group of brothers and sisters from the Banbury community. It is the answer to the cry of members of the community who began to express concerns regarding the lack of Islamic knowledge and nurturing taking place in the community. Amongst the concerns were, improving and resolving the difficulties faced by the Muslim youth, the lack of Islamic implementation amongst the local community and the prevailing social problems.

Shifa School is located in the hub of its community- in the grounds of the Banbury Mosque. Neighbouring the House of Allah has meant, since the school's inception in 2002, the Mosque and its grounds have always afforded the school a great sense of security.

The school itself comprises a number of spacious, modular units that house five classrooms, a main school office, two smaller offices, kitchenette, washroom and prayer hall. Presently, Shifa School pupils undertake practical Science and IT at a neighbouring secondary school, twice weekly between 3.00-5.00pm. PE provision also occurs off -site.

The Shifa Trust envisages a re-location of the school to a more permanent site in the very near future, insha' Allah.

Shifa School is a small, community school which is steadily flourishing. The uniquely small class sizes create a conducive environment for real learning and we believe our pupils are literally hand- picked to tread the noble path of knowledge.

As education providers we have been blessed with the great opportunity of working with young Muslimaat who will, insha'Allah, help to shape future generations for years to come.

And success lies with Allah alone.
