A boarding school for Muslim girls is set to close its doors following a damning Ofsted report.

Jamia Al-Hudaa Residential College for Girls in Nottingham has been accused of teaching strict sharia-style rules to its pupils.

Former student Aliyah Saleem claimed that students were taught a number of extremist beliefs, including that men should be allowed to beat their wives and gay people should be killed.

Now the fee-paying independent school has been ordered to close down by the Department for Education, according to the Times.


Ms Saleem, who says she was expelled in 2011 for owning a disposable camera, told the newspaper: ‘At least four girls accused of being lesbians were expelled during my time. Teachers and pupils discussed it openly.

‘I remember seeing two girls pack their bags after someone claimed they’d been kissing.’



An inspection by Oftsed found that standards were ‘not met’ at the boarding school.

The education watchdog discovered extremist books in the school’s library and said pupils had fundamental gaps in their knowledge.

The report read: ‘(Pupils) do not understand how laws are made or who is responsible for devising the laws in this country. Older pupils do not understand what is meant by the term ‘British values’.’

Ms Saleem, now an atheist and campaigner, added: ‘Jamia closing feels like a drop in the ocean, because these girls will just go to similar Muslim faith schools where they will receive an equally blinkered education.’
