Date Palm Primary is a primary school based in East London which opened in 2012 with just a handful of children and has now grown into a bustling school with 200 children.

Our vision is to raise the future Ummah in an Islamic environment, where they develop their roots, character and iman, whilst excelling academically in line with the national curriculum. We have been rated as a ‘Good school’ by Ofsted (2018).

Our current building is becoming financially unsustainable which is why we have been looking for a new building to call home. Alhamdulillah we have been given an opportunity to move to a much more sustainable building, securing the school for at least another 10 years, giving the school the potential to continue to grow, develop and nurture the future generation.

We now need your support and the support of the Muslim community to make this happen. We need to raise £400,000 in order to secure the building and make it fit for purpose and ready to be used as a school.

May Allah reward each one of you immensely, showering every aspect of your lives with His constant rahma and barakah.

Our Values
The values that we endeavour to instil in our future Ummah are centred around (D)etermination, (A)mbition, (T)eamwork, (E)quality, (P)resentation, (A)khlaq & Adaab, (L)eadership and (M)utual Respect.


Qur’an and Arabic studies
Our children benefit from experienced Qur’an and Arabic teachers. We offer an hour of Qur’an teaching everyday with separate Islamic studies and Arabic lessons.

Special Needs Children
We ensure that no child is left behind therefore we have special provisions in place for children with special needs. This was recognised by Ofsted who said “Pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities achieve well. This is because work is well matched to their specific needs.”

Supporting Orphan Children
Our school is particularly fortunate to support orphans, some of whom have become orphans under tragic circumstances. Please help us support these children in our care so that they can be given the chance to create a brighter future.
