Welcome message from Haji Mohammad Iqbal Khan

• AMA Education is a dynamic and vibrant institute for children and adults. The institution has been associated with Gading Jame Masjid and Islamic Centre for many years and has a distinguished history.

• Children have the opportunity to experience the widest range of enriching opportunities providing them with a broad and balanced Islamic education.

• AMA Education is a welcoming, happy community where each individual feels valued and has the opportunity to flourish.

• I hope this prospectus provides a flavour of the AMA Education ; I would, however, encourage you to speak to the head of AMA, the Imam or the Trustees to find out more about the institution.

• It is ultimately the children themselves who best exemplify the true values and character of AMA Education and I feel certain the institution will leave a positive impression on you.
