The school's Mission Statement is for all of our children and states that we seek to provide a caring, secure, happy Islamic environment in which every student can discover and realise their full potential. At Al-Furqan Primary we ensure all our children achieve their full potential in every aspect of school life. Our faith is precious and central to every part of this.
