A typical week
Weekly timetable
Our current timetable has been carefully designed to provide your child with a balanced education. It has been designed with a lot of thought, thorough research and consultation, to maximise the mental, intellectual and spiritual benefit for your child.
The shape of the day
A day built around dhikr and ʿibadah
Our day is built around remembrance of Allah and worship. It opens with Tarbiyah and Qur'an, pauses for reflection, stops for Dhuhr, and finishes early on Friday for jumu'ah. Every day follows the same shape, so children, and parents, always know where they are.
- The school day (UK time)
- 9:00am – 3:00pm
- Monday to Thursday, taught live: five forty-five-minute lessons a day, either side of the opening hour and lunch. Friday is a half day, finishing at 12:30pm.
- Every morning
- Tarbiyah & Qur'an
- The first full hour of every single day, before any other subject begins.
- Lunch and salah
- 12:30 – 1:30pm
- A full hour, long enough for Dhuhr and a proper meal rather than a rushed break.
Monday to Friday

Fridays are different
A half day, for jumu'ah and family time
- Test & exam preparation
- Development
- Jumu'ah and family time
The morning is given to assessment, exam technique and development. Lessons finish at 12:30pm so that families can pray jumu'ah together and have the afternoon as family time.
Kept under review
We continue to review and consult to ensure that your child is provided with the best education.
Optional subjects are added to a personalised timetable when your child enrols, so the grid above is the shape of the week, not the whole of it.
Questions parents ask
Questions about the school day
How are lessons taught?
Live online, Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm UK time, in small classes. Each day opens with tarbiyah and Qur'an, has five 45-minute lessons, and a full hour for lunch and Dhuhr. Fridays are for review and assessment in the morning and sport or outings in the afternoon.
How can I manage my child's screen time if they are studying online?
The taught day is bounded: 9am to 3pm UK time, five forty-five-minute lessons with breaks, a full hour for lunch and Dhuhr, and a half day on Friday. Independent study and reading are done away from the screen, and our in-person events and outdoor sessions are a deliberate counterweight.
