ADMISSIONS POLICY  – 2021-2022

IQRA Foundation was established in 2017 to promote the Islamic education of children over the age of 4.  The teaching will take place in a Madrassah environment between the hours of 5:15pm and 6:45 pm.

IQRA aims to inspire our children in a way where the teaching and love of Islam becomes a part of who they are.  All children will be taught in accordance with the teachings of the Sunni Muslim faith and therefore preference is given to those of this faith.

However, this is only a preference and we are fully committed to equal opportunities in education.  IQRA will not discriminate against any child on the basis of race, creed, colour, nationality or ethnic origin.

Intake for 2021-22

The admission number for the new intake in September 2021 will be 16

APPLICATIONS

In order to enrol, parents are required to submit a completed application form together with a valid copy of the child’s Birth Certificate or Passport.

All applications MUST be in writing; any form of verbal communication will not be accepted.

 CRITERIA

The admission criteria for the year 2021-2022 will be as follows:

Association to IQRA

This is where the parent/s of the child are either employed by IQRA or associated with IQRA in a management capacity.

Siblings Policy

There is a preference in respect of the siblings of current pupils at IQRA.  Please note that the child MUST be living at the same address as the current pupil and be either a brother / sister, half brother / sister, adopted brother / sister, step brother / sister of the current pupil.

Remaining Places

Remaining places are allocated according to where a child lives. Those living nearest to the preferred school by a straight line (radial) measure will have priority.
