The school operates within the local authority of Bradford and does not have a religious character or boarding accommodation. As of the most recent data, the school has a capacity of 116 students and serves 42 enrolled attendees.

The Fountain School opened in 2003 and was registered in 2005. It was originally a Muslim school for girls, but it now caters to both genders. The Fountain School also follows a curriculum that combines the National Curriculum and an alimah course, an Islamic theology program. The school offers a broadly balanced Islamic and mainstream secondary education, striving to equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, moral values, and spirituality for a successful life.

The school's mission is to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere conducive to self-esteem development and respect for others. It also aims to foster self-discipline and a commitment to independently making informed decisions and choices. Offering a range of enrichment activities and giving students a greater voice in school affairs, while ensuring quality reporting to parents, are areas where the school could further improve.

In the past, The Fountain School was recognized as providing a satisfactory quality of education. However, it experienced areas for improvement, such as providing a broad range of enrichment activities and improving the level of student involvement in school affairs. The school has shown a commitment to meeting its aims and requirements set forth by the Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2003.
