Madani High School

What Madani High School does

Madani Schools Federation operates a UK state-maintained secondary school federation at a single shared site at 77 Evington Valley Road, Evington, Leicester (LE5 5LL), delivering education to approximately 900 students across Years 7–11 (ages 11–16), split equally between Madani Boys School and Madani Girls School, which run as two separate schools co-located on the same campus. The federation is anchored in HEART principles (Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, Teamwork) and welcomes pupils of all faiths and denominations, while making significant provision for the local Muslim community through on-site masjid services, prayer timetables, a live-streamed Madani Masjid Live service, and community facility hire. The curriculum and pastoral offer is supported by an extensive portfolio of external accreditations including an Ofsted Good rating, Voice 21 Oracy Excellence, Eco Schools Green Flag Gold, Duke of Edinburgh Award, UNICEF Silver Rights Aware, British Council International Schools Award (with Imam Hatip School, Turkiye), and others.

The entity is a not-for-profit educational institution rather than a commercial company. Its funding model is core UK Government education grants administered via the Department for Education and channeled through its parent multi-academy trust; no fees are charged to families, and the headcount of 18 listed in firmographic data reflects a narrow administrative subset rather than the full teaching workforce. Since 2019, the federation has operated under a long-term partnership with Nova Education Trust, a multi-academy trust with schools across the East Midlands, giving Madani access to shared back-office services, cross-school collaboration, and the Nova Transformational Awards programme (in which the federation won the 2025 Community Engagement and Service Learning award). The primary customer base is the local Leicester community, with admissions routed through the standard UK local-authority school admissions process; ancillary customers include local community users of the facility hire and masjid services. Reported technology is limited to standard web infrastructure for madani.school, the Community Hire booking platform at madani.schoolhire.co.uk, and the Madani Masjid Live streaming service, with no proprietary technology, no app, and no AI/ML capability disclosed.
