As teenagers across Birmingham are due to receive their GCSE results on Thursday, latest Department for Education statistics show that three Muslim schools in the city featured among the top 20 results last summer.

Al-Burhan Grammar School, run from Spring Road Centre in Acocks Green, had 100 per cent of its pupils attaining at least five GCSEs grades A*-C including maths and English.

Head teacher Dr Mohammad Nasrullah said: "At Al-Burhan Grammar School for Girls we strive to equip our students with the knowledge, the skills and the values which will serve them best as individuals throughout their life in this world and in the hereafter.

"We do this by offering a traditional grammar school education, supported by impressive computer technology, delivered in an Islamic environment."
And Al-Furqan Community College in Tyseley, which is also for Muslim girls, came second in the league table.

The independent school last year saw all of its pupils gaining at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C including maths and English - a staggering 27 per cent increase compared to 2013 when 73 per cent of pupils achieved the same benchmark standard.

Meanwhile, coming 14th on the list of top schools was Darul Uloom Islamic High School in Small Heath where 81 per cent of its pupils achieved at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C including maths and English.

The school describes itself as being "specialised", providing a "balance of traditional Islamic education and national curriculum subjects".

The school, set up 30 years ago, says it "aims for students to enjoy learning, achieve high standards in both Islamic and national curriculum subjects, to achieve and exceed individual potential and to build confidence within students to become valuable and active members of the community at large".
Last year, Birmingham schools performed better than the national average, with 55.9 per cent of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C including maths and English compared to 53.4 per cent across England.

The King Edward VI chain of state grammar schools proved to be an unstoppable force, with five being placed in the city's top 20.

Your copying doesn't help you much - the non-Islamic schools did as well as Islamic schools. Then Islamic teachers are not superior. So there's no basis for compelling mixed schools to submit to the will of Pakistan. Peaceful Pakistan where bombs drown out kids chanting from Mr Muhammed the one-man voice of a god.

Iftikhar,

The point of integration is not that you are forced to accept the western way of living, but that you accept the rules of the country and that every one else will live as they please.

Iftikhar, you are repeating yourself. These posts are exactly the same as the ones you posted in the 04/2013 & another lot of Posts in 2014. I keep a record of your posts. A very slight rewording is the only difference. Broken Record?

I hope you are taking notes Foxy. This Imam & Teacher of the koran (http://www.londonschoolofislamics.org.uk) is one of your so called moderates. He believes that Integration means that all the British people have to adopt Islam & everything that goes with their Ideology, weather they like it or not. It doesn't mean that moslems will integrate into British Culture.

The Moderates in Australia believe that integration mean that all Australians must adopt Islam & everything that goes with their Ideology, weather they like it or not, eventually. Frightening isn't it?

Dear Jayb,

I can't speak on anyone else's behalf.

I can only say that the people that I do know personally
do not hold the views that you claim they do.

It was extremely horrifying to see a photo in an Oz magazine promoting Australian national costume . A woman from Austria , our motherland, wants boys to wear the Alpine leather pants with shoulder straps . The rot has started.
