Coordinate manageable memorisation and revision of selected short surahs and daily duas, with attention to accuracy and retention.
Develop foundational Arabic listening, speaking, vocabulary and handwriting readiness through stories, games, visuals and interactive activities.
Integrate Qur’anic manners, respect, kindness and everyday Islamic values into learning and classroom routines.
Mentor and supervise teachers through collaborative planning, lesson observations, feedback and demonstration lessons.

Monitor individual progress through observation and short, supportive assessments; maintain records and coordinate additional help where needed.
Coordinate timetables and learning expectations with the Early Years team to maintain a balanced daily programme.
Communicate progress and practical home-support guidance to parents without placing unreasonable demands on families.
Identify children who may be ready for a later Hifzul Qur’an pathway and discuss suitable progression with the academic team and parents.
Maintain a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment; uphold safeguarding standards and positive behaviour practices.
