Our Team
Our management team is full-time and qualified in their fields. We offer various courses, events, activities, services, and much more based on principles taken from the Holy Quran. Our services include a Madrassah where we aim to improve the standards of education by hiring more teachers and reducing the days to four to allow students the option of new subjects on the fifth day. We have two shifts to give students more choice to help fit classes into their weekly schedules. Our syllabus includes Qaida, Amma Para, Quran, My Salah Book, Markaz Worksheets 1-300 Levels, Tajweed, and Surahs 1-104 Levels. We also have weekly assemblies on Islamic manners, Islamic personalities, Islamic history, annual events, and performances by students.

Our Students’ progress
We track students’ progress on large wall-mounted boards, which encourages children to learn more quickly by adding a competitive edge, and reduces teachers’ workload in respect of having to keep paper records. During the Covid Pandemic, our teachers were given training on how to teach online, and the students did not lose any valuable learning time during this period. To help parents, the classes were free, and our online service has gone from strength to strength, now with over 150 students.
Transport Service
Our 5 vehicle transport service transports students from all over Wakefield as well as transporting students to advanced level courses based in other cities.
