The work that takes place in Read Meta School is the cornerstone of the school’s success and we are pleased to now offer this online. A dedicated team of well qualified and skilled teachers and support staff provide outstanding learning and teaching for students.

Read students are enthusiastic, motivated and ambitious to succeed and maintain very high standards of behaviour and engagement in their studies. They are encouraged to be reflective and creative in their thinking and to become increasingly independent learners as they progress through their journey in our online school.

Read Meta School Online: Our Core Values

    Spiritual guidance

    Islam is at the heart of every staff and student at the school. It is not just a topic taught in the classroom but a way of life lived by every member of Read Academy. The family environment of our school is that of respect and care for all. We refer back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his sunnah in all our actions. He was the best of mankind, an epitome of etiquette and an embodiment of perfect mannerisms. His outstanding qualities are an example for all of mankind to follow.

    Read Meta School has scheduled Salah (worship) in the daily timetable to enable our staff and students to fulfil our duties as Muslims to Allah SWT. It’s a period of calm reflection.

    Achieving success

    Every student will need guidance and encouragement and at Read Academy we aim to meet individual needs by providing the right level of challenge and support to ensure students reach their full potential.

    We support students with this by focusing on providing quality teaching, and responding to their needs to ensure the right level of stretch and challenge. There are a range of intervention and support programmes for those students who need extra help, such as those with learning difficulties. We are very proud of the inclusive nature of our school and aim to personalise learning and teaching so that every student is able to succeed.

    There is a structured home learning timetable. All students are expected to have a planner to help them organise their time and workload. Parents/carers are asked to check this on a weekly basis.

    There are support clubs at lunchtimes to help students if they need it.

    Beyond the classroom

    There are many opportunities for students to take part in extra curricular activities at Read Meta School. A range of clubs and activities take place outside lesson times. Staff are committed to providing different opportunities to enrich the lives of Read Academy students. Subject based clubs are organised to enhance learning such as Science, Art, Food Tech, Quran and Sports.

    Beyond the Classroom: Paragraph two: We offer a number of virtual trips that extend students’ learning, understanding and creativity. Including Museums, places of worship, career fairs and theatres. Distance and travel are not a matter with online learning.

    Strength to strength

    Some of our future plans include becoming a Forest School, building our very own Read Meta School scouts group and by engaging the entire school community, we aim to set up a global sister school to support orphaned children, allowing us to give to those in need and teach our students the true meaning of sadaqah jariyah ‘ongoing charity’.
