About

Welcome to Al-Burhan Grammar School, an Independent academically selective secondary School with an Islamic ethos for girls aged 11-16 in Birmingham. Before the founding of Al-Burhan, I was a University researcher. A colleague of mine came to me with his daughter to help them look for a primary school for her son.

The four of us set off during the day myself, my colleague, his daughter and his grandson to find an Islamic primary school. Every school we went to was full and had no places. The child was 4 years old and I asked him what he knew already. MashaAllah, he began with the ta'awwuz and continued reciting the tasmiyyah, 6 kalimahs and a few short surahs.

When I asked which mosque he had attended to know so many things at such a young age, his mother said, no mosque, she had taught him herself at home.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
