History

The school was founded in 1979 by Shaykh Yusuf Motala, and Shaykh Hashim Patel (Jogwari) a British Indian scholar. Initially, the Saudi Arabian government helped with finances, as it received no money from the state, and parents paid fees of £440. It was Europe's first exclusively Muslim school and started with just 80 pupils. Now the institution educates over 300 boys.
