About Us
Ayesha Community Education (ACE)
ACE was setup in 2005 with a clear vision to meet the needs of the local community in general and the Muslim community in particular. While being responsive to the community's cultural and religious needs, ACE's main focus has always been on Education, Recreation, Social and Health Care.
Local services offered by ACE include:
- Independent Primary School
- Independent Girls' Secondary School
- Sixth Form College
- Supplementary School
- Adult Education
- Youth Clubs
- Residential Trips
- Recreational Activities
Since inception ACE has grown
from strength to strength and
offers many services beyond the
local community. ACE is currently
offering:
- Multi-faith Citizenship workshops in schools and other educational establishments
- Madrassa Citizenship Training for supplementary school teachers
- Islamic awareness courses (for non-Muslims)
- Leadership course for Young Muslims
- Interfaith Activities
ACE recognises that education needs to be at the heart of community development. We are therefore determined to establish a Muslim educational model which is based on high moral standards and spiritual values. Hence the first and most important project for ACE was to setup an Independent school with an Islamic ethos.
Ayesha Community School (ACS)
In the period from 2006 - 2009, the school grew from 4 pupils to 45. This number was limited by the size of the original premises on the West Hendon Broadway.
In September 2009, the school moved to new premises on Montagu Road. The new premises, originally known as Algernon Road Primary School, allowed to expand. By October 2009 the school had 240 pupils! The Secondarey school had 140 pupils and a new primary school was started with around 100 pupils. With this new begining, the school was renamed to Ayesha Community School.
Sixth Form
The school started in 2006 with a small batch of year 7 students and the school developed and grew as they progressed through secondary school. When the first batch of pupils had gone all the way through the secondary school journey with us, we felt it was the right time for to proceed with this project to the next level and hence ACS started a sixth form for girls.
The sixth form was established with the aim to provide contemporary further education in an Islamic environment.
