“To Grow in Knowledge & Faith

Booster Classes *** to be confirmed *******
We offer booster classes at the end of the Madrassah classes to give extra support or to extend certain activities. These classes are available to all children and run from 18.45 to 19.15 on Tuesdays during term time only. They are not compulsory but offer our pupils the chance to extend their learning.

The Qur’anic booster programme began in September  2016. It is designed to provide extra, targeted support to those pupils who require the extra help, without the benefit of the Qur’anic Booster sessions and Islamic studies lessons since the beginning of their early stages, are unlikely to achieve little and make slow progress.

These sessions are targeted at pupils with specific needs, and as it is managed at no extra costs to parents, with limited resources we can only offer this service to a limited number of children, which is usually after an assessment. The Booster sessions are not intended as a revision programme for all children.

The booster sessions will be tailored to the specific needs of the individual children who have been assessed and are in need of extra support in Qur’anic learning. children undoubtedly stand a better chance of catching up if booster classes are arranged in addition to their normal Qur’anic lessons, whether that is during or out of Madrassah hours. In a subject like Arabic language, children find it particularly difficult to catch up if they are always missing new work while they are trying to get to grips with the foundations. Common approaches include releasing the usual class teacher or bringing in an extra teacher to create an additional group or reduce class sizes. Teachers and pupils welcome working in smaller groups and being able to give and receive more targeted, individual support.
