HOW WE DO IT
At Iqraa, we have developed our own carefully structured curriculum to prepare students for GCSE Arabic & Islamic Studies. Our Arabic programme covers the four key language skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, & Speaking, while exploring a wide range of topics to help students understand & communicate confidently in Arabic.
-
Levels 1–2 build strong foundations in Arabic language & vocabulary.
-
Level 3 Introduction to Arabic grammar as well as basic speaking & writing.
-
Level 4 Focuses on Arabic grammar & extended writing.
-
Level 5 Continuation of Arabic grammar & acts as a Pre-GCSE stage, gradually introducing themes from the GCSE curriculum.
-
Levels 6–8 are dedicated to full GCSE preparation, ensuring students are ready for examination success.
In Islamic Studies, we cover Aqidah (belief), Fiqh (Islamic rulings), Seerah (Prophetic biography), Hadith, & Duaa (supplications) at all levels. Our aim is to instil a deep understanding of what it truly means to be a Muslim, and to guide students in how to live their daily lives with faith, manners, & purpose.
In our Quran programme, students study a range of surahs appropriate to their level, with a strong emphasis on correct pronunciation & Tajweed. In our Hifz classes, students receive individualised support, with memorisation goals tailored to the Juz they are currently working on.
