History
The school officially opened to the public in 2003 and was enrolled with only five pupils. The sports hall was a converted warehouse and the school itself was an office. The founder of the school is Imam Qasim Ahmad. He is also the founder of the Al-Khair Foundation.
In over ten years, the school has evolved into a fully fledged primary and secondary school, with over 350 pupils.
