We accept pupils from year 10 and to join the course allowing them to take the exam at the appropriate point.

The Hub Club Islamic studies course in the preceding years is comprehensive and rigorous, and existing pupils who enter the IGCSE course are well placed to achieve highly. However the course does not assume previous islamic studies knowledge and hence open to new students joining in year 9 or 10.

The course is taught in two 1 hour slots each Sunday. The students also have an hour learning the Ghazali Children’s Project:  https://deencentral.org/youth-programmes/hub-club-sunday-school/ghazali-childrens-project/
