Leicester Islamic Academy
Leicester Islamic Academy is an independent, faith-based school in Leicester that educates boys and girls within an Islamic ethos. With around 363 pupils, it is a small school, a scale that tends to allow staff to know individual children well. The day school is led by headteacher Mrs Tabassum Jakhura and is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. It may particularly suit Muslim families seeking an education that combines academic study with their faith.

This isn’t a question bank. Watch it decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, mixed independent school where an Islamic ethos sits at the heart of daily life in Leicester.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
