Introduction

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/Aalims graduate from our outstanding Hifz and Aalimiya programmes.

Jamiah recognises that each young Muslim needs to strive to acquire knowledge in all aspects that affect mankind’s existence; from historical to contemporary, from academic to vocational, from pragmatic to dogmatic and from Islamic to secular.   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:

 “From Years 7 to 11, the school offers a range of other subjects taught by well-qualified staff. Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications, and standards are on the up.”

*

“Islamic studies are taught every day. Pupils value these lessons, respond well and develop positive attitudes to others. Staff are well qualified to teach other subjects too.”

*

 Pupils learn about diversity in Britain and the wider world and how they can help others. Values of the week, such as sincerity and charity, shape some lessons and steer conversations between staff and pupils. Pupils can talk about how such values guide what they think and do. Pupils regularly lead prayers in school and take part in public-speaking events.

Our new building project next door is now near completion and we are therefore aiming to be able to accept boarding students in the near future. If boarding is something you may be interested in then please register your interest with the Jamia now.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our happy, successful and vibrant Jamia. May Allah SWT guide our pupils, staff and Jamia community to prosperity and success. Aameen.

We thank you for visiting our website and hope that you will remember Jamia in your Duaas.
