Class sizes & enrichment
Core lessons are taught by subject in small groups; enrichment happens in mixed-year sessions that build independence and confidence, in shaa Allah.
Core subject classes
Maximum 16 students
per class, so every child is seen, heard and supported.
Independent enrichment sessions
Held once a week, taught in mixed-year groups, one teacher per session:
Why this approach works
These enrichment sessions are designed to encourage children to work independently, follow instructions, manage their own learning and build confidence without relying on constant teacher direction. The teacher provides guidance, supervision and support where needed while allowing pupils to take ownership of their work. This approach also makes it possible to offer a wider range of enrichment activities without increasing screen time or requiring children to move between multiple online classes.
Parent Platform
One dashboard for timetables, project submissions, teacher feedback recordings and more, everything in one place.
Student of the Week
Every Thursday we recognise students for character and effort. It's announced in assembly and shared with families.
Monthly Competitions
Science fairs, art showcases, Quran recitations and creative challenges keep learning alive with friendly, joyful ambition.
