At Leicester Islamic Academy, we are guided by a clear vision for the kind of learners and future citizens we aim to nurture—individuals who contribute positively to both our community and wider society.
Beyond our commitment to high-quality teaching and learning, we place strong emphasis on cultivating a school culture where positive behaviour is central. We believe this approach plays a transformative role in shaping our pupils into confident, responsible, and values-driven British Muslim citizens.

To support this vision, we embrace the HEART/DEEN framework—a set of core values that underpin our expectations of ourselves and others:

• H – Honesty
• E – Equality
• A – Aspiration
• R – Resilience
• T – Thankfulness

These values are embedded throughout our school ethos, helping to guide character development, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth.

Restorative Approach
We believe that the most effective way to help a child understand the impact of a negative choice is through a restorative approach, a conversation that attempts to help the child understand the emotional reaction that others have had to their action, take responsibility for this and look to find a way of restoring this. 

Whilst our aim is to address most problems instantly and informally, an important aspect of solving any problem is understanding when additional help is needed. Therefore, although a restorative approach will continue to underpin behavioural conversation, a graduated level of support may be needed through more senior staff members working with the pupil or involving parents to ensure that mistakes do not continue to be repeated and any harm that has been caused is addressed.
