Madani Girls School operates a ‘House’ system – each form group within each year group is part of a ‘House’. Details of our ‘Houses’ are below. Each Head of House can be contacted via the email address below for any house-related queries.
Our house system provides your child with a sense of belonging and with the care they need. It provides a platform for them to build positive relationships with staff and students and creates a strong sense of community.
We at Madani pride ourselves in helping to nurture our students character with our core values: Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork.
In our schools and in each house, we care about the whole child, their academic achievements as well as their personal development. We want every student to feel happy, safe, and successful at school. House leaders are dedicated to support students throughout their journey with us and to leave Madani with the knowledge, skills, heart values, and attributes to enable them to not only successfully follow their desired career path, but also contribute to the community and wider society as an exceptional rounded citizen
