[FONT="Tahoma"]Ash-Shifa School – Ofsted Report!

Assalamu alikum wa Rahmatuallahi wa Barakatuhu,

We pray that you are under the shade of Allah's mercy, in the circle of his generosity and in the remembrance of His Habib Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Ash-Shifa School was recently inspected by [URL="http://www.ofsted.gov.uk"]Ofsted[/URL] (the body set up to regulate education providers) in early November 2007. The inspector spent 2 days at the school rigorously inspecting all aspects of the school, including the curriculum, lesson observations, policies and procedures, development plans, suitability of proprietors and teaching staff.

By the grace of Allah, the inspector was pleased to report that [URL="http://www.ash-shifa.org.uk"]Ash-Shifa School[/URL] met all the education regulations, achieving a good report. The full report is available [URL="http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports/pdf/?inspectionNumber=316890&providerCategoryID=16384&fileName=\\school\\134\\s163_134166_20071130.pdf"]here[/URL] please do read it.

*Ash-Shifa School is committed to providing students with the highest quality of academic and character building education. The school was set up in 2002 by the Ash-Shifa Trust as a result of local demand and is held up as a model faith school adhering to the teachings of Islam.

Due to the expansion of the school we are currently appealing for £25,000 to pay for our new building. Please help with this noble project
