Abu Bakr Madrassah (ABM) was established soon after the Abu Bakr Masjid was opened to the public in the holy month of Ramadan in 2013, with the aim of providing Islamic education to the Muslim community in and around Reading. ABM currently offers Islamic education for children from age four and a half to sixteen years. Madrassah also runs short Islamic courses and Quran classes for adults.
Vision & Mission Statement
Our Vision is to be a leading institution recognized for developing and providing Islamic Education for our children. Inspired by our Islamic faith and the teachings of our beloved Prophet (SAW), we aim for each child to reach their full potential of becoming a responsible Muslim, enriched with knowledge, committed, and motivated to work for the betterment of the Ummah and to see a world of God (Allah the Almighty) consciousness, respect, dignity and justice.
Our Mission is to serve, educate and inspire to equip learners with true knowledge of Islam in both theory and practice in accordance with the Qur’an and Sunnah. We aim to provide quality Islamic education; that will make the child grow up to be a responsible Muslim. We will work together with parents, community centres, teachers and children to make learning an exciting and fulfilling experience.

Madrassah academic year begins in September and ends in July the following year. The enrolment of new students takes place twice a year (in August and February). However, the new applications are received throughout the year and filed into the waiting list. New students are taken on a first come first serve basis.

We may take new students during the term if there are any spaces available in the classes and subject to the assessment of the child.
