Physical Attendance Required For All Students from 27th July and 50% fees off for parents who send in their HAF code!

13th July 2022.

Assalamu Alaykum dear parents,

I pray you are all in the best of health and Imaan InshaAllah.

   

I am writing to inform you of our summer class timings and programme InshaAllah.  Please read carefully so you are aware of timings and the exciting activities and learning that we are planning this summer for your child(ren).

   

Also if your children are eligible for free school meals you should obtain your child’s HAF code to give to us so we can continue the free school meal service and provide free activities for your children. We are working in partnership with HAF for this scheme so all you need is the HAF code.   Schools should have already sent these codes out to you by email or post so if you don’t have it simply ask your school for this code.  We are planning in earnest to put on a great summer experience for our children so that they have fun whilst maintaining their spiritual/Qur’an targets.  If you can get these HAF codes to us by the end of the week we will even reduce one month’s fees for 50%!

Also please find the summer programme schedule as classes are taking place in the afternoon until late evening and there are no weekend classes.  Please read:

   

  • Students who attend weekends:

There will be NO weekends classes during Summer holidays as those that attend Saturday and Sunday will be attending Wed/Thurs/Fri 4.30pm-8.30pm (3 days).  The first attendance during summer for those that attend weekends will be Wed-Fri 27th July as mentioned.

  • Students that normally attend Friday to Tuesday:

These students will be required to attend Monday to Friday 4.30pm-8.30pm (5 days) as there will be no weekend teaching/classes.  Instead of weekends, these students should attend Wednesday and Thursday (starting from the 27th July).

  • Students that currently attend Monday- Friday:

These timings remain unchanged so students will continue as normal however all students are to attend for 4 hours on Wed/Thurs/Fri as we will be doing extended learning and activities InshaAllah.

  • ONLINE STUDENTS:

The above applies to online students (no weekends for online students) and all current online students will be required to attend physically on Wed/Thur/Fri starting for the 27th July.  There will be no online lessons on these 3 days (Wednesday/Thursday/Friday) as students are required to attend the Masjid physically.  We will make exceptions for students who live outside Birmingham.

 

The above arrangements are being put in place so that we can have as many students re-connect with the Masjid physically so we can work on their tarbiyyah, social skills, their conceptual understanding of Islam and all within a fun and exciting summer camp atmosphere that we are rolling out this summer. During the days of Wed/Thur/Fri, in addition to their normal Qur’an/Nazra/Kayda/Hifz we will are arranging the following for all students:

  • Swimming: Alhamdulillah we have blocked booked Moseley Road Swimming Baths exclusively for our students along with life guards.

  • A range of sports activities: Alhamdulillah we are converting one of our halls into sports halls for this purpose. Refurbishment work has started.

  • Boxing, basketball, netball, dodgeball, and indoor football.

  • Trips to Dudley Zoo, a horse sanctuary and trips to Ackers Activity Centre (for archers, rock climbing etc)

  • Seerah lectures, Salah learning and translation courses.

  • Islamic History lectures/courses.

  • Free hot Halal Meals.

       

Costing: We are able to provide free Halal meals, swimming, trips and other outdoor experiences for free to those children that are eligible for free school meals. For this we need your HAF codes which you can obtain from your school.  Those that provide their HAF codes to us by the end of this week will also be given a 50% discount on their fees for either August or September but we need your HAF codes first  so please send them to us asap. If you haven’t received your code, speak to your school.

 

 

If your child(ren) is/are not eligible for free school meals we will still provide onsite activities for them and ensure that they learn and have an enjoyable experience at this Masjid this summer InshaAllah.  We might not be able to taken them out for swimming, trips, outdoor experiences as these will have to be paid for (unless they are free school meal eligible). but we will arrange our own activities for them inshAllah.  For example, we are converting one of our halls into an indoor sports hall.  However should you want your child(ren to take part in the HAF) activities I will send out the costings for this later should you be interested.

I will be sending out more information as we make a schedule of learning and activities for all our children InshaAllah to ensure that we put on the best summer madrassa experience InshaAllah.

Can all those eligible for free school meals please send in their HAF codes asap please as we have limited HAF places so it will be on a first come first served basis.
