At Leicester Islamic Academy (LIA), our holistic curriculum is focused on good character development that results in pupils contributing fully to society by sharing British values is harmony with their Islamic faith.

At LIA we care about the whole child, their educational achievement as well as their development as a person so that they leave us being able to contribute to those within their immediate community and the wider society. This policy reflects the requirements for academies to provide a broad and balanced curriculum as per the National Curriculum programmes of study which the school has chosen to follow.

In addition, this policy acknowledges the requirements for promoting the learning and development of children set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.

The school’s motto, mission and values underpin the curriculum.

LIA pupils leave the school as independent, confident and resilient learners who are well prepared for their secondary phase of education. They have a firm knowledge of the core and foundation subjects.

Our pupils understand how to interact well with others and show compassion and care towards all people regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. Their Islamic faith helps to guide them to make good moral choices in terms of their behaviour and actions.
