Feedback from pupils & parents

I attended Al-Qalam Primary School for seven years and it was an experience that I am sure anyone at any other school don’t know what they’re missing out on. There wasn’t a single moment when I wanted to swap a day in Al-Qalam for a day at another school. Al-Qalam is unique and I wish I could have another seven - year experience there.

Pupil (former P7 pupil)

The quality of staff is of very high standard, which is always demonstrated through parents meetings and reports. It is very evident that they know my children well and all their strengths and areas of development. It is wonderful the way in which the curriculum is delivered and the methodologies used and extended to Islamic Studies and environment, including the Qur'an and Arabic.

At Al-Qalam school, the small class size allows teachers to get to know each child really well and have more time with them. As a result of this the children gain great confidence and ability in their studies. They are also encouraged to take part in saying duas, and getting involved in the school council and annual days.
