About Islamia Primary School

Islamia Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 100 first-preference applications for just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.7, meaning nearly three families put it top of their list for every available spot. Parent satisfaction signals are strong, though the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey percentage. The school is a state-funded Muslim faith primary for boys and girls aged 4 to 11, located in Brent, London. It is led by headteacher Alimuddin Shaikh and currently has 418 pupils on roll, just two short of its full capacity of 420. Around 28.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the diverse, inner-city community the school serves.
