London The first state-funded Islamic school in Britain, Feversham College Bradford, has topped the league table for the progress of pupils. According to the sources, the commitment of Muslim families in Bradford was a strong factor in the school`s success. Feversham became a maintained faith school in 2001 and since then four more private Muslim schools have been awarded voluntary aided status further approving two more applications.
Director of the Association of Muslim Schools said, “We hope the success of Feversham will boost our cause for more state funded Muslim schools.”
Supportive parents were also praised at Guru Nanak Sikh Comprehensive in Hendon, west London, which came second in the value added league table. Sikh families passed on their commitment to education to their children, said Greg Hall, the school`s deputy head.
