Our Story

A school saved by love.

In 1992 a small school for special children was being closed by its previous owners. The families of the children who studied there got together and decided to take on the running of the school themselves. And so began a relationship that has endured for more than three decades.

The Founding

The late Mr. Iqtidar Ahmed Chaudhry and the late Mrs. Naheed Iqtidar made, for more than 30 years, dedicated contributions of time, energy and resources to the CFSP Foundation and school.

They helped establish the school as a registered charity and put in place operating procedures for the transparent running of the school. They remained engaged with CFSP throughout the rest of their lives — in deep appreciation of the hard work and dedication of the excellent teachers who had taught their son, Ali Jawad Iqtidar.
