We cover aspects of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and other Prophets, pillars of Islam with a strong emphasis on Tajweed and Hifdh.
All the national curriculum subjects are taught with a greater emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy. Greater use is made of specialist subjects such as Qur’an and Arabic.
