Glm Educational Trust
Charity 1150690
Overview
Summary
Glm Educational Trust appears to be an education-focused faith charity whose Birmingham school is the visible core of a broader intended learning model. Its objects combine full-time schooling, supplementary Islamic education, adult and child courses, and wider educational provision. This suggests a potential role not only in formal education but in sustaining faith-based learning across different ages and levels of commitment. However, current evidence describes aspirations and categories more clearly than the organisation’s actual reach, partnerships or delivery beyond the school.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Small Heath
Confidence: medium
The charity's current registered contact address is Green Lane Masjid Community Centre, 20 Green Lane, Small Heath. This is also the address of its controlling organisation, Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre. Taken together with the charity's stated educational purpose and its declaration that it operates a school in Birmingham, this supports a reasonable interpretation that its historic or residual operational base is in Small Heath. However, the address may be correspondence-only and no current school-site evidence was located.
- Charity Commission Register of Charities: GLM Educational Trust, charity number 1150690
Lists the charity's address as Green Lane Masjid Community Centre, 20 Green Lane, Small Heath, Birmingham, B9 5DB; states that the charity operates a school in Birmingham. - Companies House: GLM Educational Trust, company number 07954896, persons with significant control
Identifies Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre as the active person with significant control and gives its correspondence address as 20 Green Lane, Small Heath, Birmingham, B9 5DB.
Remaining uncertainties
- There is no authoritative current source identifying the name or operating status of the school said to be operated by the trust.
- The Charity Commission record states that the charity operates in Birmingham City, but this does not demonstrate citywide delivery; it may describe a single Birmingham-based school.
- The charity reported zero income and zero expenditure for each financial year from 2021 through 2024, while Companies House filings describe it as dormant for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023. This materially weakens confidence that it was delivering services directly during that period.
- The trust does not own or lease land or property according to the Charity Commission, so any school premises may be provided by its controlling organisation or another body; this has not been confirmed.
- Shared trustees, control and address establish a close organisational relationship with Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre, but do not by themselves evidence that the trust currently delivers services through the masjid's wider programmes or partnerships.
Additional evidence needed
- A current statement from GLM Educational Trust or Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre confirming whether the trust is active and, if so, the school or education service it currently operates.
- A current Ofsted, Department for Education or Birmingham City Council record identifying any school operated by GLM Educational Trust.
- Current accounts, annual report or programme information explaining whether educational activity is delivered directly by the trust, through Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre, or has ceased or transferred.

Observations
A school-based anchor with wider educational ambitions
The available evidence suggests that operating a school is the trust’s established delivery base, while its charitable objects create scope for a broader ecosystem of supplementary and lifelong learning.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the trust from an organisation focused solely on one school. It may have the potential to connect formal education with family, community and adult learning, although evidence of this wider delivery is not yet available.

Faith is integrated into the educational model, rather than added separately
Islamic learning appears to be a central organising feature of the trust’s educational purpose, spanning full-time education, supplementary provision and courses in Islamic sciences.
Why it matters
This helps identify the trust’s likely distinctive contribution: it may provide continuity between mainstream educational participation and faith-based knowledge or identity formation.

The stated beneficiary model is broader than a narrowly defined school population
Although children and young people appear central, the trust’s objects and beneficiary categories suggest an intention to serve adults and the wider public as well.
Why it matters
It raises a useful question about whether the organisation is currently a specialist school provider or a wider community learning resource. The answer would affect how potential collaborators understand its reach.
