About Us

Background

Al Ameen Primary School was set up in September 2005 by members of the local community who really wanted to make a difference. Although we began as an early years unit, the school built itself with it’s pupils and has been running as a complete early years and primary school setting for many years.

The school has a vision to develop confident, respectful, active British Muslims who achieve academic excellence and draw guidance from the Quran and life of the Prophet (peace be upon him). We want our children to be proud of who they are and to be confident that there can be no barrier to them being successful.

Our Vision

Our vision is to develop confident well-mannered children who use their full potential and achieve their best. Children at our school will acquire the skills and knowledge required for them to live in modern Britain. Subsequently, they will become courteous, law abiding, proud and active citizens of a harmonious multi cultured society, drawing guidance from the Quran and the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Our Ethos

To develop the whole personality of pupils with Islam as a prime focus of their lives, taking guidance from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad e. Furthermore, we aim:
  • To encourage the pursuit and acquisition of general knowledge and skills.
  • To promote the dignity of each young person through self-respect, respect for peers and through the development of personal responsibility.

Preparing life-long learners

Our children are growing in a rapidly developing world and as such, need to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities they will pass through. We aim to guide them along this exciting journey instilling within them good character, a passion for learning and a connection with their faith and values
