Hazrat Khadija-Tul-Kubra Girls School
Charity 1120498
Overview
Summary
Hazrat Khadija-Tul-Kubra Girls School appears to be more than a faith-based school: it is a women- and girls-centred civic institution using education, Islamic formation and physical facilities to serve a wider local community in Small Heath and Birmingham. Its stated model combines national-curriculum education with Islamic scholarship and character development, while its charitable objects leave scope for adult learning, recreation and community use. The available evidence suggests a strong institutional identity, but gives limited visibility of its partnerships, reach beyond pupils, or actual community-facility use.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Bordesley Green
Confidence: high
The Department for Education’s current establishment record identifies the open school’s ward as Bordesley Green. The school’s own website confirms that it operates as a school and that admissions and facility hire are administered by the school.
- Department for Education, Get Information about Schools: Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra Girls School (URN 136123)
Records an open independent girls’ school for ages 11 to 16 in Small Heath, Birmingham; identifies the ward as Bordesley Green and states that there are no linked establishments. - Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra Girls School official website
Describes the organisation as an independent Islamic girls’ school and states that its facilities are available for hire during weekends and school holidays. - Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra Girls School official admissions page
Directs applications to the admissions office, indicating that enrolment activity is run by the school.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence establishes one active delivery site but does not identify where enrolled pupils live. It therefore does not support adding other Birmingham wards as operational areas merely because pupils may travel from them.
- The charity’s objects refer to Muslim girls living 'in or around Birmingham' and to improving conditions for Birmingham’s local Muslim community. These are charitable purposes rather than direct evidence of current service delivery across the city.
- No material delivery partnerships, satellite venues, linked establishments or regular off-site programmes were identified in the reviewed evidence.
- The available evidence refers to educational facilities for children and adults, but current public school information specifically evidences provision for girls aged 11 to 16. The location and current scale of any adult provision are not clear.
Additional evidence needed
- Current anonymised pupil-origin or admissions data, or a published statement of the school’s normal recruitment area, to determine whether its practical reach extends beyond the immediate neighbourhood.
- A current annual report or operational plan identifying any adult education, community recreation, outreach or off-site activities and their venues.
- Details of any formal partner-delivered programmes or regular external venues, if these exist.

Observations
Education is used as a vehicle for community formation
The school appears to combine formal education with religious knowledge, practice and social development, positioning education as a means of sustaining a shared Islamic civic and cultural life rather than solely improving academic outcomes.
Why it matters
This helps explain why the organisation’s role may extend beyond that of an independent school: it may be an important institution through which families transmit values, language and community identity across generations.

“The trust advances the education of Muslim girls through a school teaching Islamic languages, theologies, jurisprudence and theories alongside the national curriculum.”

Its charitable remit is wider than its visible school offer
Although the website is primarily organised around school provision, the charity’s objects and activities suggest a broader intended role including adult education, recreation and facilities for the local community, particularly Muslim residents.
Why it matters
This creates a potentially important distinction between the organisation’s core operational identity and its wider civic capacity. It may hold under-recognised assets for local learning, gathering and wellbeing.
Show evidence
“Activities include educational facilities for children and adults with special provisions for women and girls.”
Source:Charity Commission“The trust may provide recreational facilities to improve conditions of life in Birmingham, with particular emphasis on the Muslim community.”

Source:Organisation
The organisation may be a gender-specific community asset
Its focus on Muslim girls, alongside stated special provision for women and girls, suggests a deliberate gender-specific offer that may create access, confidence or participation opportunities not easily provided through general community institutions.
Why it matters
Understanding this specialism is useful when considering local provision: the organisation may complement mixed-gender schools and mainstream services rather than duplicate them.

- Whether adult education, recreation and community services operate regularly or remain permissive charitable aims.
- Which local organisations, mosques, families or public services the school collaborates with.
- How far facility hire is used for community benefit rather than private bookings.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports or impact information showing programmes, participant groups and use of facilities outside school hours.
- Evidence of partnerships, referral relationships and local community organisations using or connected to the school.
- Information on pupil catchment, accessibility, fees and support for families.
