Terms & Conditions

General
  • The minimum age for a child to attend the Institute is 5 years (Year 1) and the maximum age is 16 years (Year 11).
  • Parents/Guardians must fill out a separate form for each child at a registration session with an approved administrator.
  • Incomplete forms will not be accepted.
  • Our waiting list has a limited number of pupils.
  • Before we input the child onto our waiting list, we go through an assessment process to find out which class is best suited for your child. If there are no spaces in the class and the waiting list is full then we cannot accept the application. Parents will be offered to try other alternatives in order to ensure that the child receives an Islamic education.
  • Generally, we only offer spaces to pupils at the beginning of each academic year (September) for pupils who are at a beginner level. This is because we follow a structured curriculum and if a child starts in the mid-year, then that may cause disruption to the child’s learning. However there will be exceptions to this rule which is solely dependent on the discretion of LII management.
  • All physical application forms must be submitted to the main Lewisham Islamic Institute admin office with a £5 registration fee. For more information regarding our admissions policy, please visit our website on www.lewishamislamicinstitute.org.uk
  • Parents/Guardians MUST sign the registration form.
  • The LII does not take responsibility for any child before 5:30pm and after 7:30pm on Monday to Friday. Nor before 10:30am or after 12:30pm on Saturdays or any time outside the scheduled hours of teaching within the institute.

What We Offer
  • We offer 1 hour Qur’an (Beginner, Juzz Amma, Tajweed and Advanced level) and 1 hour Islamic Studies within each session a day. Please refer to the attached leaflet for the days we offer.
  • Qur’an and Islamic Studies are 2 separate classes, the Qur’an class is age/ability based and the Islamic Studies class is solely age based. Your child will be allocated accordingly after they have undertaken an assessment.
  • Our main focus at the Lewisham Islamic Institute is for pupils to be able to read the Quran independently and enhance their memorisation of the book of Allah (swt). Our curriculum is available to view on our website www.lewishamislamicinstitute.org.uk
  • Pupils are referred to the Hifdh programme by their class teacher, if their teacher feels that the child is ready to memorise the whole Qur’an.
  • Parents may be informed that their child will need to retake a year if the teacher feels that the child will not benefit from advancing to the next level.

Terms of Fees & Payments
  • An application fee of £5 is required with each new child; the form WILL NOT be processed without it.
  • Tuition fees are yearly payments which are paid in 3 instalments of £150 per child paid in cash, debit card, bank transfer or cheque.
  • New applicant’s fees will need to be paid before or on their first day.
  • If for any reason you wish to withdraw your child or children from the Madrasa, you must withdraw them before reaching the next instalment due date to avoid making any further payments as they will not be refunded. You MUST inform us one week in advance before the next instalment due date. Failing to do so will mean that you are still expected to make a payment for the next instalment. For more information about the fees and the consequences for late payments, please visit our fees policy on our website: www.lewishamislamicinstitute.org.uk
  • Fees will also not be refunded or reduced should the child leave at any point after the commencement of the term even if they have attended 1 lesson and all such fees will be pursued by our finance team.
