Al Madina School for Girls
School summary
Al Madina School for Girls is a small independent school in Barking, in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham, where just under 100 girls are taught. Its modest size suggests an intimate setting in which pupils are well known to staff and individual attention is easy to come by. The school admits girls from age 11 and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Families looking for a close-knit community rather than a large institution may find the scale appealing.

Teaching & academics
Teaching is geared towards GCSE, with a broad academic core that takes in the three separate sciences of biology, chemistry and physics alongside English language, English literature, mathematics and history. Arabic features both as a taught language and as a popular GCSE subject, and citizenship rounds out the social science offering. The emphasis falls firmly on solid academic foundations rather than a sprawling subject list.

That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
