About
A madrasah built on structure and care.
Al-Madinah Schools provides structured Islamic education for children aged 4–16 across the UK.
Our Approach
How we teach.
A child who can read Arabic script can read the Qur’an for the rest of their life, so that comes first and everything else is built on it. Qur’an, Arabic and Islamic Studies are taught as three parts of one thing, and children work at a level that matches where they actually are.
What Guides Us
Character first.
The Prophet ﷺ told us that he was sent to perfect good character. That applies to our teachers before it applies to any child in the room. Good akhlaq is what we want a child to leave us with, alongside everything that they’ve learnt.
Core Principles
