Our Special Character Team

Our Special Character staff lead our Quran and Arabic curriculum in the school. They are highly dedicated staff members who ensure that the integrity of our special character is the heart of the school. They provide and promote learning programmes that support and develop students’ deep academic learning, knowledge and understanding of the Quran and Arabic learning progressions.

They support Teachers during their Islamic curriculum programme; providing specific insights and support linked to the Quran, Hadith or a particular Islamic context. Our Special Character staff are an critical component of what makes the school so uniquely us.  


Our Tasneem Team (Year 1 – 3)

Tasneem is a Quranic term which represents the purest and most supreme drink of paradise. It is derived from a noun which implies greatness and elevation of status.

When we refer to Tasneem within Iqra School, it represents how we see our students’ learning journey and commitment ‘to rise’ above challenges, to work towards their aspirations, and be a positive learner through living the Islamic Special Character principles of the school.


Our Kawthar Team (Year 4 – 5)

Kawthar refers to a river that exists in Paradise. The term translates to abundance or multitude.  

When we refer to Kawthar within Iqra School, it refers to the abundance of learning experiences and opportunities we strive to provide our students in this area. Kawthar builds upon the learning journey students have within Tasneem by promoting and instilling character, commitment to higher learning and a deep understanding of the Islamic Special Character principles of the school.


Our Salsabil Team (Year 6 – 8) 

Salsabil refers to a pure spring in paradise. It is water that passes easily through the throat, with a pleasant taste. It implies smoothness.

When we refer to Salsabil within Iqra School, we refer to the ease and smooth transition our students make from Kawthar to Salsabil and how we support them when transitioning onto secondary school. At Iqra School, we apply Salsabil through the way we facilitate learning with our students as we provide opportunities for growth, learning about leading oneself and others, and being pure in all endeavours.
