History
Ofsted gave the school a general inspection in 2010 and a welfare inspection in 2011, ranking it "good" in both cases.In 2014, former student Aliyah Saleem, expelled from the school in 2006, criticised the school, stating that the curriculum was extremist.
In 2016, Ofsted stated that the school had bullying, a failure to safeguard the students, and poor training of employees, and that due to the "inadequacies" it would have to close its boarding programme. The Times wrote that therefore the school would be forced to end operations. The school asked the parents to remove their children from the campus on 18 October that year.
