Improved from weak to acceptable overall, the school shows strong Islamic education, social studies and personal development, with very good behaviour and attendance. However, teaching—especially in Primary—relies too heavily on worksheets, lacks challenge for higher achievers, and leaders' monitoring needs sharper focus on learning outcomes.
