Apex Primary School is Independent Primary school in Redbridge for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Here at Apex Primary (Islamic School in Ilford), we strive to deliver an excellent level of teaching and learning in a warm and safe environment. They believe that a holistic approach to learning will give our children the best start in life and this is why our School ethos centres around nine core values. These values seek to promote all the characteristics of how Islam teaches us to live our lives.Inclusivity and understanding lay at the heart of this. Alongside this, our bespoke Islamic curriculum tailors to that specific need and has taken Apex from strength to strength. We also believe that our values enhances a teaching model which includes learning in the great outdoors; so we strive to provide our students with as many learning opportunities outside of the classroom as possible. Much of our curricular and extra curricular activities focus on appreciating and experiencing the natural world.
Arabic
At Apex they aim to teach our students the fundamentals of the Arabic language in order for them to excel in other aspects of their Islamic studies such as understanding the Quran, hadith, du'ās, adhkār e.t.c.All pupils will learn some key Arabic vocabulary (mufradat). We encourage students to use and strengthen their understanding of these words in educational yet fun ways such as drama, story, video, Arabic poetry and anachīd.
Ḥadīth (prophetic narrations) & Du’ā
Every week students learn one hadith with the intention of bringing them closer to the sunnah at a young age. The chosen aḥādīth are age appropriate, suited to the happenings/environment inside the classroom, span a wide range of topics and also touch upon contemporary glocal events. You may also find more information in the duaa plan.
English
At Apex Primary School they believe that literacy and communication are key life skills and that through the English curriculum we should help children develop the skills and knowledge that will enable them to communicate effectively and creatively with the world at large, through spoken and written language. We also intend to help children to enjoy and appreciate literature and its rich variety.
Geography
Apex offers a high-quality geography education in order to instil a sense of curiosity, inspiration and excitement in its pupils about the world that we live in. Children are taught contextual knowledge of globally significant places – both terrestrial and marine – and go on to learn about diverse cultures, places, people and resources as well as natural and human environments. Geography, at Apex, also educates children with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes and how these provide a geographical context for understanding the actions of developments on our planet. This framework allows children to explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.
History
Through gaining a high-quality history education at Apex, pupils develop a coherent understanding of Britain’s past and that of the wider world. A thematic curriculum and multi-sensory learning allow pupils to fulfil their sense of curiosity about the past. Children are inspired to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. This gives our pupils develop an understanding about the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.
Science
At Apex Primary, we believe every child should learn about science in a way that is engaging, educational and relevant throughout their school years. By the time they finish Apex Primary school, pupils will have the right knowledge and investigative skills for their secondary education. They will already be able to see the relevance of science to their own lives, and imagine future science-related careers based upon it.

They begin to learn the skill of creating programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also links in with Maths, Science and Design and Technology, and will be integrated into almost every subject studied at school.
