<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>UK CURRICULUM ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF SUBJECTS</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lady Evelyn’s online learning platform and lesson library enable learners to make great progress in their studies. Our pupils have control over their learning and their interactions around the school; a personal, engaging teaching experience where they can directly and discreetly question their teachers during and after classes to ensure they have an in-depth understanding of the subject or topic before moving on.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Above all, what we offer our young people is time. The effectiveness of our school means that pupils are ‘in school’ only for three or four hours a day giving them an unrivalled opportunity to pursue their personal interests, hobbies, pastimes and goals. It all adds up to make Lady Evelyn as individual as our pupils.</p>

<h3 class="thim-text-title">WHO IS LADY EVELYN?</h3>
<p>Lady Evelyn Cobbold was the first British-born woman to make the Haj pilgrimage. Lady Evelyn Cobbold blazed a trail for others to follow.</p>
<p>Lady Evelyn Cobbold (d. 1963) was the first British Muslim woman to make the pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj, in 1933. Born in 1867 Lady Evelyn was a Scottish noblewoman and a convert to Islam, she spent the winters of her childhood in Algiers, often escaping the Moorish Villa to visit Mosques, she also learned to speak Arabic. She took the name Zaynab and ‘came out’ as a Muslim before the Pope when he asked if she was a Catholic.</p>
<p>Her conversion to Islam may not seem extraordinary to many, but it was often difficult for members of the aristocracy, as it meant they had to forego drinking alcohol, something that would have been social alienating to say the least. She had to seek special dispensation to perform the Ḥajj, announcing her intention to Saudi Arabia’s minister in London, Hafiz Wahba, who wrote to King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz in Riyadh requesting formal permission.</p>
<p>She was buried in accordance with the principles of Islam on a distant hillside on her estate at Glencarron, Wester Ross, in the Highlands of Scotland, on a bitter day in January 1963.</p>
<p>One should not underestimate the importance of Lady Evelyn doing the journey - being the first British-born woman to make the Haj - and of course the book she wrote about her journey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_content_no_spaces" parallax="content-moving" parallax_image="7981"][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="460px"][/vc_column][/vc_row]</p>
