Imam Muhammad Zakariya School
School summary
Imam Muhammad Zakariya School is a small independent school in Preston, Lancashire, with an Islamic religious character and a roll of around 130 pupils. Its modest size lends itself to a close-knit community where pupils are known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. Mixed and non-boarding, the school is led by headteacher Mrs Ayesha Desai and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It is likely to appeal to families seeking a faith-centred education within an intimate setting.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, faith-based independent in Preston where a tight community and personal attention are the defining features.
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.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
