Welcome to Al-Zahra School; a bastion of academic striving and spiritual serenity for the young ladies under its banner. Named after Sayyeda Fatima Al-Zahra (p.b.u.h), the daughter of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h); our vision is to pursue excellence in education, unwavering God consciousness and service to the community. The teachings of the Qur’an and the Ahlulbayt are integral to our ethos and encapsulate school life. We provide a broad curriculum that is ambitious and stimulating, along with a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities. Through all endeavours, our school nurtures dynamism and determination through the troughs and peaks of academic life. With a sense of being part of a wider family, we nurture well-rounded, cultivated and compassionate individuals who respect the differences and human dignity of others. Our girls are driven by self-motivation, self-discipline and a common purpose. Through these years with us, they become secure in their sense of pride and belonging, buffered by a friendly and supportive school community. They leave Al-Zahra full of integrity and ambition, empowered to make waves in the world they enter. Al-Zahra welcomes visitors to personally experience the buzz and energy of the school; to interact with our personable pupils who constitute the very essence of our establishment. It is our aim to enable our girls with the most holistic experience of education, in which they may thrive and emerge as conscientious citizens of a modern, multi-facetted Britain.

Toks Coker, Hands of Light

toks coker, hands of light

She cares for a diverse clientele from all over the world such as royalty, celebrities, entrepreneurs, mothers, property developers, and artists. People are needlessly suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, and a variety of ailments that deplete them physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. They feel lost inside them while putting up a mask of bravery, courage, and confidence…….. sometimes they do not even realise they are lost. After many years of caring for and seeing her clients she has come to the great realisation that saying Yes to Life is a choice each person has to make. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Toks has personally had to deal with the death and loss of her unborn children, partner, family members (mother, father, grandparents, uncles, aunts) and friends. Her life lessons have taught her the importance of self-reflection, honesty, and truth. Toks believes that life is like the vast ocean, looking calm on top, but in turmoil under. Surfing the waves of life is a wonderful challenge of facing your suffering, limiting beliefs, fears, negative emotions, thoughts, behaviour, etc. and transforming them to love, peace, joy, harmony, and happiness. This is what her Yes to Life is all about. When she shares her knowledge and insights she speaks from her vast experience, learnings, and training. Her ability to turn poison to medicine with her insights, wisdom, and mentoring is testimony to who she is at heart. “Toks you are so easy to love.” said a lady after 5 days with her. Happiness is available to everyone – Say Yes to Life.

Innovative use of technology such as film making or recording and composing using the sounds of the beach. Numeracy, literacy, science and technology curriculum requirements. Opportunity to go on the water in boats or sit on kayaks or building their own rafts with qualified instructors. This course offers children the opportunity to get to know an environment in different conditions and see it change. They work closely with a beach school leader who has time to develop trusted relationships with the children and respond to both intellectual and emotional needs and offer challenges that inspire deeper learning. This is recommended in the Welsh Government guidance for educational opportunities of this type. Throughout the course we seek to develop emotional intelligence and offer plenty of adult supported and child led experiences that allow social skills, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation and empathy to flourish. There will be the chance to problem solve, work as a team and independently and show leadership skills. Children will be encouraged to think creatively, to enquire and to reflect on their own learning. Beach Days Single days can meet a specific curriculum or school community need and can be planned with users. They can inspire a school project, add depth to a topic, offer a completely different and exciting experience and offer a chance for children to shine in a new environment. These days are planned to suit the needs of the group and could focus on: The beach environment with rockpooling, identification and animal adaptations. The development of a seaside town over time. An introduction to forces through a range of activities. A book, such as Kenzuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, with activities inspired by the story. Outdoor pursuit challenges in line with the primary PE curriculum. Information and communication technology While on the beach we can use technology to capture the experience in pictures, words, sound, film or music. Back at school we can support the innovative use of technology to develop learning further. Our most popular day is “A Day at the Beach” which is often used by year 1, though has been adapted for preschool and years 2-5.
