The Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah admission policy establishes a framework and outlines the criteria and process for admitting all Muslim children. We are dedicated to promoting equal opportunities in Islamic education and fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive environment for all students. No applicant will face discrimination based on race, nationality, colour, background, culture, or ethnic origin.
The purpose of this admissions policy is to:
At the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah we follow the Sunni school of thought, we welcome children from all backgrounds.
Each application will be assessed individually, with fairness, confidentiality, and sensitivity.
At the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah, Islamic teachings are central to all activities. It is vital that families enrolling their children fully support and endorse the Islamic ethos of the education provided.
For the current intake year, no admission limit has been set by the Head of the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah. However, a cap on the maximum number of admissions may be introduced in future years.
The following criteria will be considered when assessing applications for admission to the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah:
Occasionally, a child may require admission outside the standard admission period. These are referred to as non-routine admissions. Parents seeking to enrol their child in the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah should first arrange a meeting with the Headteacher. During this meeting, they will be provided with an application form. If a place is available in the relevant year group, an offer may be made. If no places are available, parents will have the option to place their child on the waiting list.
To apply for admission, parents must complete an Application for Registration form, which is available from the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah office or can be posted upon request. The application process includes the following steps:
In the event of over-subscription, your child may be placed on a waiting list. The names on this waiting list will be processed in the date order of application and by applying the admissions criteria.
If an application is submitted after the closing date due to an exceptional and verified reason and is received before the management team finalises the list of children to be admitted, it may be considered alongside the on-time applications. Otherwise, late applications will be reviewed only after all on-time applications have been processed and will be placed on the waiting list in date order, following the admissions criteria.
If false information is provided on the application form, the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah reserves the right to refuse admission. If the information is found to be false after a place has been offered, the admission may be withdrawn by the management.
Some applicants may not meet the admissions criteria and, as a result, may not be offered a place. The submission of an application does not guarantee an offer of admission. The Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah reserve the right to refuse or withdraw a place without the obligation to provide a reason.
If you disagree with the Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah's decision to refuse admission for your child and believe you have valid grounds for an appeal, please submit a letter to the Head of Brick Lane Jamme Masjid Madrasah outlining your reasons within 10 days of being notified of the decision. Headteacher or a Board of Trustees will reassess your application. You will receive the outcome in writing within 10 days from the date your appeal is received.
Possible outcomes of the appeal include:
Please note, the decision made by the Headteacher is final.
