Jamiatul Ummah is a highly successful independent secondary school, combining National Curriculum and Islamic education.

We currently have over 180 students in years 7 to 11. From 2008 we will be opening a sixth form.

We value traditional values of hard work, discipline and respect. Students are prepared to participate fully in modern society, qualified to progress to College and University, and ultimately to become fully integrated and highly respected members of the wider community.

We create a stimulating and effective learning environment, using modern teaching methods and technology. In 2007, our students achieved an 86% pass rate at GCSE, and we have consistently been among the top two schools in Tower Hamlets for SATs results. Jamiatul Ummah in 2008 came at the top of the Tower Hamlets GCSE league table by obtaining 87% and continues to take a lead in SATS Key Stage 3 and GCSE results in the Borough.

Jamiatul Ummah was established in 1996 by Da'watul Islam UK & Eire, a non-political charitable organisation. It is based in a former campus of London Greenwich University, in the heart of London's East End.

“Jamiatul Ummah safeguards and protects its pupils effectively. Since it was first established, it has made good progress towards fulfilling its aims to provide an integrated education within an Islamic setting that enables pupils to become good citizens.”

“Teachers show a strong sense of dedication”

“Courses in Islamic Studies are very successful”

“Within the Islamic Studies curriculum there is a comparative religions component which helps to give pupils a basic knowledge of the multi-faith nature of British society”

“The school provides a safe environment and friendly community in which pupils are encouraged to accept responsibility and develop good relationships with their teachers”.
