Jamia Islamia Birmingham, the College of Islamic Knowledge and Guidance, was established in February 2000 for boys of age 11 years and over. The Muslim community of the United Kingdom needs schools that provide a comprehensive, positive and inclusive understanding of Islam as well as secular education in a secure Islamic environment.
In response to this need, Jamia was established through the acceptance and mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala and the gracious duaas and generosity of Muslim brothers and sisters across the country. We are committed to raising standards of achievement and ensuring a culture of high expectations and success for every pupil.
Our GCSE results are well above national averages and in addition to that we have had over 200 Hufaz graduates and similar number of Ulamma. Jamia recognises that each young Muslim needs to strive to acquire knowledge in all aspects that affect mankind's existence.
We want all young Muslims who study at Jamia to have the self-esteem and confidence to play a positive and inclusive role in their communities, to be good Muslims and exemplary citizens. In our recent ofsted visit in Nov 2021, they commented:
