Deenway integrates the British National Curriculum with Islamiyaat to shape students holistically for life and work. Islamic values guide personal development with core values including the Quran and Sunnah as a guide, integrity, humility, compassion, patience, and justice for all. Embracing diversity, collaboration, discipline and hard work is encouraged, and parent participation and service to the community are promoted. Character development is central; character before education guides the school's approach. Extracurricular activities and clubs such as wildlife, debate, agriculture, photography and art support social development and teamwork. Graduates master the Holy Qur'an and the three Rs, inclusive of the three Cs: creativity, communication and collaboration, and demonstrate digital literacy and civic responsibility.
