About our School
Hujjat Primary School is situated in a multicultural, vibrant and diverse community of Harrow, in North West London with easy transport links. We have been thriving since we opened in 2020 and have strong links with our Local Authority. We have a dedicated Trust Board and the school benefits from a strong and committed Senior Leadership Team. Together, we work with the common aim of making our children shine, both academically and spiritually.
Our vision is to be an outstanding, happy and inclusive school. A place where children indulge their intellectual curiosity, develop a love for learning, and build the foundation from which they can grow to become ethical, responsible and inspirational members of society.
Our ethos, through a broad and balanced core curriculum, is designed to foster intellectual curiosity and outstanding academic achievement, alongside a values-based curriculum that develops the virtues of good character, enabling our pupils to change and develop their knowledge into action, for the benefit of our school, our families, our community and wider society.
The school promotes universally accepted human values and principles which are British Values but are also the cornerstones of the Islamic faith. This ensures that everyone at our school, adults and children, of all faiths and none, can identify with the same values: Compassion; Respect; Integrity; Service; Gratitude, Excellence.
