About our school

Masjid-Bukhari supports the teaching and learning of Arabic and Urdu. It is a thriving organisation with a supportive teaching and learning environment.

About our partnership

Madani High School is currently working with Masjid-Ul-Imam-Il-Bukhari - whose students attend 15 other mainstream schools in the city. This partnership is supported by the School Development Support Agency (SDSA).

In this first stage the main aim was to encourage accreditation. Approximately 80 students sat Arabic and Urdu exams at Madani High School in February 2008. These candidates included pupils and staff from the complementary school and some students of the Madani High School. Colleagues from the Majid are working with the SDSA to work towards being able to provide tuition and support for students to increase their GCSE A* - Cs in at least one extra language.

This project has given both Madani High School and the Bukhari Mosque the opportunity to build a working relationship, share good practice and provide learning opportunities for the community it represents. Madani High School being a newly purpose built institution with state-of-the art facilities is in a strategic position to provide leadership in language learning. It is envisaged that more and more people through this project will be able to benefit from the rich resources the school possesses. Furthermore, students who may struggle with their GCSEs in languages have an alternative way of attaining accreditation.
