ABOUT MANCHESTER ISLAMIC GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

Manchester Islamic Grammar School for Girls (MIGSG) is one of three independent Islamic schools within the Manchester Islamic Educational Trust Ltd. (MIET), established in 1991. The other schools in MIET are Kassim Darwish Grammar School for Boys, established in 1999, and Manchester Muslim Preparatory School, established in 1994. All of our schools are located in South Manchester, providing convenient access to excellent transport and road links.
MIGSG is a small grammar school with approximately 280 girls aged 11-16. The school combines a faith-based education with the national curriculum, providing students with an excellent education in a safe and caring Islamic environment that encourages personal growth and individuality. At MIGSG, we strive to create a harmonious balance between academic rigor, sports, cultural activities, and community involvement. Our aim is to foster intellectual curiosity and social awareness in our students. While academic knowledge is essential, we believe that a true education challenges student to push the boundaries of their understanding.
As part of MIET, MIGSG’s faith-based ethos influences every aspect of school life, creating a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere among staff and students.
We are currently seeking a Headteacher for MIGSG to join as soon as possible. Given our Islamic foundation, this role is central to inspiring young girls to learn and practice Islam, making it essential for candidates to be practicing Muslims. This position is supported by a strong Senior Leadership Team with long-standing dedication to the school. Ordinarily, the Headteacher reports to the Executive Headteacher, but as she is retiring on 31st December 2024, the Headteacher at MIGSG will report to the CEO of the Trust until her successor is appointed.
Looking to the future, MIGSG seeks an experienced, dynamic Headteacher to lead our dedicated staff and vibrant student body. The successful candidate will embody our core values of respect, resilience, and responsibility, with a clear vision for advancing academic standards, pastoral care and engagement with parents and the wider community.
This is a unique opportunity for a forward-thinking leader to make a lasting impact at a school where tradition and innovation in learning work hand in hand. If you are passionate about shaping the next generation of learners and leaders, we warmly invite you to consider joining the MIGSG family.
