The Royal Pinner School Foundation

the royal pinner school foundation

Helping the children of travelling salespeopleI feel that it is a great honour to have been elected Chairman of our Foundation, and I trust that we shall continue to be effective in providing educational support for children of travelling sales people during times of adversity. Many years ago, when I was experiencing a tricky time with my career, I was fortunate to receive a series of grants primarily to assist my youngest daughter, Claire, with her education and specialist swimming training. Royal Pinner’s assistance, at a crucial stage of Claire’s education, was invaluable. Claire went on to graduate from Leeds University as well as to participate in the Paralympic Games held in Athens, Beijing, London and Rio – where she won a Gold Medal. Obviously, our Royal Pinner grants were withdrawn when Lottery funding became available, but we shall be forever grateful for the support we received at a critical stage of Claire’s development. Being in receipt of support is one side of the Trust and, since becoming a Trustee several years ago, I have also seen the other side – helping to alleviate the hardships encountered by our beneficiaries and new applicants – and I have felt very humbled. Most of our families face and endure far more difficult circumstances than I did, but, on the other hand, I have also seen how effective our grants and pastoral support can be. Our focus remains on the sons and daughters of commercial travellers where there is also a specific need or hardship, and we aim to continue to provide effective educational support during the years to come.

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.
