Al-Furqaan Preparatory School has shown significant improvement since its previous inspection, now rated as good overall. Pupils exhibit outstanding behaviour and attitudes, and they are exceptionally happy and confident in their learning environment. The school has successfully fostered a positive relationship with parents, who express high levels of satisfaction. While teaching is generally effective and well-planned, some concerns remain regarding early years provision and the update of library resources to include modern literature. Overall, the school meets independent school standards and is likely well-positioned to adapt to changes, such as accepting younger pupils.
