Al-Furqan Community College as a possible future secondary school for your child. At Al-Furqan we believe that it is important to value the contributions of all members of our community. We place great value on a triangular partnership between parents, teachers and students in the education of our young people and this manifests itself in many areas of the school life. The vast majority of parents are very supportive and know that we offer a safe, secure Islamic environment where their children can flourish.

We have high expectations from our students. We want them to grow up with confidence and an enthusiasm for learning, to enjoy success without losing humility, and to strive for the highest standards possible in everything they do without a fear of failure, and without being under undue pressure. We want them to respect themselves and each other.
