Madani High School is a Muslim secondary school in Leicester, England. Based in the diverse Evington district, Madani High caters for the city's Muslim population, with 300 places for boys and girls each. The building itself, designed by Leicester firm Pick Everard, is state-of-the-art with an Islamic design including an Arabic-style courtyard. There is also an associated community centre and madrassa.

The school has received much press attention as a Muslim secondary school where it is held up as a model for faith schools [ [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/education/article4231194.ece Learning to be British and Muslim] - Article by Cristina Odone on Timesonline] . Conversely, there has been controversy when it was announced that non-Muslim girls would be expected to wear the hijab [ [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-410312/Non-Muslim-students-Islamic-school-forced-wear-headscarves.html Non-Muslim students at Islamic school forced to wear headscarves] Article from the Daily Mail ] .
