A 2012 Ofsted inspection awarded Brondesbury College as 'Good' in all inspected aspects.[1] The inspection stated that "The English curriculum is a particular strength of the school but the focus of Quranic lessons is not always clear."[1] Brondesbury college caters to years 7 to 11, and primary school education is provided for at the government-funded Islamia Primary School.[5]
Recently, the 2018 Ofsted inspection awarded Brondesbury College as 'Outstanding' in all aspects. One of the main points was that ''Leaders and trustees are highly ambitious for pupils and are determined that the school continues to improve. The students learn amazing values at this school. They ensure that all of the independent school standards are met''.
