Our History
From humble beginnings…
Al-Noor Foundation was created in 1997 with the goal of providing a balanced education that prioritised both academic excellence and good character. The establishment of our Independent Primary School in 2002 began our work to create engaged future citizens of British society.
Fast forward to today and we have 25 years of success to look back proudly on. Our school which once had just 50 pupils is now the 2nd most subscribed school in London. Through investment and donations from the community, the Foundation has also launched a number of successful projects, with further projects in early development.
Alongside fundraising for our own projects, we’ve also been able to champion other initiatives and to date have raised over £1,000,000 for UK charities.
