Andalusia Academy announces primary school closure at end of current term

Bristol's only Islamic faith school has announced the imminent closure of its primary school. Andalusia Academy Bristol (AAB), in St Philips, will close the lower school at the end of the term on December 16.

The school, established by Bristol Islamic Schools Trust (BIST), has been offering full-time education since 2005. However, in recent years it has experienced 'financial difficulties' with Trustees evaluating the school's future on a number of occasions.

The Department of Education had previously warned the school could be facing closure if standards did not improve. It was rated "inadequate" for the third time last year due to a "significant decline in standards".
