Rochdale Islamic Academy was originally founded in 1995 as an independent day school providing Secondary education in line with the National curriculum for girls between 11-16 years of age from all ethnic backgrounds, in a safe environment.
As the school grew in size and stature, the girls school was relocated to the former music school on Green bank road In 2013 and a boys school on the existing site on Taylor Street opened.
Rochdale Islamic Academy Boys is situated on Taylor Street just off Whitworth Road, approx. 1.1 miles from Rochdale Town Centre. The boys school has grown ever since and we have rapidly achieved full capacity on the site, due to our successful history and reputation.
RIAB is operating at full capacity with one form entry from Years 7 – 11, with a demand for places far exceeding our ability to supply (at this moment in time).
Inshallah, in the near future we hope to expand our provision and offer increased spaces and attempt to meet the demand for the education we are providing.
Our mission is to provide education in an Islamic environment that encourages good discipline, behaviour, tolerance and respect, in order to achieve goals by developing potential, thereby creating role models for the community. We want each student to feel appreciated, happy, and to be able to enjoy their learning through a stimulating environment which celebrates their individuality.
We work closely with the community to allow their children to achieve and succeed during their time at Rochdale Islamic Academy. We hope that our school becomes the steppingstone that will provide your children with an Islamic Framework to allow them to succeed in this world and ultimately in the hereafter.
