Keeping our children safe and supported

At Rahma Academy, we want every child to learn and grow in an environment where they feel safe, respected and valued. We take our responsibility towards the children entrusted to us seriously, and our policies help parents, pupils and staff understand how we care for our children and how the maktab runs.
