School Curriculum
“Solihull Sunday School is a weekend school that teaches a focused
set off subjects to cater for the Muslims in Solihull and neighbouring
catchments. The curriculum bridges a gap in local education and is
based around three core subject areas of Quranic Studies, Islamic
Studies and widely spoken first and second languages by the Muslim
families in the area; Arabic, Bangla and Urdu.
A pupil will typically chose one language while the other two subject
are compulsory. The school runs each and every Sunday during the
normal school year starting 9:50 am and concluding after Zuhur paryers
at 1:15pm. The lessons are divided equally in 55 minutes session with
one break time after the second period.
The teaching staff come from a mix of background and experience and
are carefully selected to meet the dynamic needs of our community in
Solihull. They are experts in the their subject matter and at the
grade they teach. The languages and Islamic studies are taught up to
GSCE level with 100% success rate at A*-C grade. This a fantastic
achievement for Solihull Sunday School.”
