Welcome from the Head of Raheem Academy

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ

Welcome to Raheem Academy

Our aim is simple: that every child reads the Qur'an correctly, understands the essentials of their faith, and grows in good character.

For almost fifty years, families in Birmingham have trusted us with their children's Islamic education. We work closely with parents, keep you informed of your child's progress throughout the year, and hold ourselves to high standards of teaching and safeguarding. I look forward to welcoming your family.
