INFORMATION ABOUT FEVERSHAMCOLLEGE
FevershamCollege History
In 1983 the Muslim Association of Bradford formally recognised the need for an Islamic school which catered for the educational needs of teenage Muslim girls in Bradford. In 1984 the Bradford Muslim Girls’CommunitySchool was established. This was an independent girls’secondary school catering for the 13 to 18 age range. The vision of the College was to meet the mainstream educational needs and aspirations of Bradford Muslim girls in an Islamic environment. The College grew in popularity and size over the following 16 years and in September 2001 was awarded Voluntary Aided Status.

The College is heavily oversubscribed and has been successful in gaining funds to open a 6 classroom extension,which opened in May 2013. This has enabled the College to increase our admission numbers from 95 to 120 per year.

Seventy five percent of students stayed on into Year 12 with considerable interest from students outside of the College. There are currently 165 students in the 6th form.
