Which school is right for your child?
The four schools form a single path, so most families simply join at the stage that matches their child’s age and level, and move up from there. Each school below links to its own page with days, times and what is taught.
School year 7+
Alimiyyah programme
The four-year programme of classical Islamic study, taught by traditionally trained teachers.
Qualified teachers, proper teaching.
Every class is taught by qualified teachers. Our Tajweed teachers hold ijaza under the guidance of our Ustaadh, Dr Shaykh Sulayman van Ael.
Your child’s safety comes before everything.
Safeguarding is the first consideration in how every school is planned, staffed and run: leaders working with children are DBS-checked, and every school follows the Foundation’s safeguarding policy. Read how we keep children safe, how to raise a concern, and who our safeguarding lead is on the safeguarding page.
Term Dates and Policies
Term dates and school policies are published for every school, so you always know when terms start and finish and what the rules are. Each school sets its own term dates, published on that school’s page.
