Sheffield private school ‘putting pupils at harm’ in scathing Ofsted inspection

Ofsted has described Luqman Academy, a private-run Islamic faith school in Sheffield, as "inadequate" in three areas including the quality of education, personal development, and leadership and management. The school was rated inadequate in these areas by lead inspector Mary Cook, who concluded that it did not meet independent school standards. The report criticised the school for lacking breadth in its curriculum, lack of breadth, and inconsistent expectations for students. It also expressed concerns about unhygienic classrooms, unsafe playtime grounds, and unhienic building. It stated that the school is poorly resourced and lacks a broad or well-designed curriculum and students study a narrow range of subjects, and staff do not have enough experience or training to deliver the curriculum well. The staff turnover and safeguarding procedures are also highlighted, with many staff leaving the school since its previous inspection in June 2024. The total cost of the school was £19,600 to £21,000 for a leadership role and £23,809 hours per week.
