Class Sizes and Teachers

At the Madrasah we have small class sizes for qa’idah, Qur’an reading/proficiency and hifdh (memorisation) groups to ensure each child receives adequate one-to-one time and support with the teacher during the lesson.

The Islamic Studies classes have a maximum of 22 students per class.

All of our teachers are experienced or fully qualified and are tested upon appointment. In addition, our teachers receive relevant continuous teacher training throughout the year.

All staff working at the Madrasah are fully DBS checked.
