Darul Hadis Latifiah Curriculum Plan

Intent:

Darul Hadis Latifiah is an independent Islamic secondary school and sixth form in the heart of Bethnal Green, East London. It was opened with the intention of producing the next generations of British Muslim leaders. Towards this end, the school has developed, and is continually adapting, its curriculum in order to fulfil this ambitious goal.

Our curriculum has been designed with the intention of preparing our students for the world around them and to inculcate within them the skills which will enable them to continually learn and develop themselves throughout the rest of their lives.

The curriculum has been further designed to teach our students critical thinking skills, the ability to communicate confidently and clearly in all scenarios as well the ability to use their knowledge effectively in different situations.

Alongside this, our intention for our curriculum is to develop our students into model British citizens. We aim to inspire them to become respectful of all differences and tolerant to every person they meet. We aim for them to become the best students, sons, husbands, fathers and whatever other role they may play in life.

Our intention is also to develop our students to fit in seamlessly with the world around them. As such, we want our students to be aware of, amongst other things, their physical and mental health; to understand how British institutions work and how to manage their relationships with one another, as well as all future relationships.

Islamically, we aim to equip all our student with the understanding of the basic fundamentals of worship and morality so that they will be able to take ownership of their own faith practices and so that they may become a source of guidance for those who rely on them. At the same time, our intention is to facilitate their development into figureheads of the British Muslim community, successful in their professional fields as well as in their spirituality.

We are well aware that the vast majority of our students are from Black and Ethnic Minority backgrounds, with most being of Bangladeshi heritage. We are located in one of the most deprived boroughs in London and as such we realise that our students may not come from a background which is rich in cultural capital. Thus, our curriculum has been designed to enable our students to be exposed to these experiences so that they can flourish and achieve to the best of their potential.

For further details of our curriculum, including how we plan to implement our intent and how we will measure impact, please read our Curriculum Plan which can be found on the School Policies page.
