The majority of pupils that attend the school are local, but some come from around the UK, and a small minority are international students.[4] The school therefore offers boarding facilities for about a third of its pupils.[5]

Purpose

The purpose of this institute is to allow individuals within the Islamic community to learn more about their religion, Islam. It also allows to propagate the religion to others. Within some Islamic sects, it is also regarded as a compulsory act which can be fulfilled for the entire community if an individual within the community is sent to gain this knowledge. Henceforth, the obligatory act will be regarded as fulfilled for the entire community.
