Quran classes for families in Colchester
Colchester became a city in 2022. About 4,000 of its residents, 2.1% of the city, are Muslim according to the 2021 census, including many students at the University of Essex at Wivenhoe Park and families at the Colchester garrison.
Colchester is one of Britain’s oldest recorded towns, and today a growing city surrounded by north Essex villages, where Muslim families are few and far between.
In Braintree, Halstead, Witham and Sudbury, the nearest regular Quran class may be in Colchester or Chelmsford, or further.
Service families at the garrison often move every few years. Because lessons are online, children can keep the same teacher through every posting in the UK.
Lessons for students at the University of Essex
The University of Essex has a large international student body. Students can take lessons around their timetable and pause over the vacations, keeping the same teacher. Many use the time to perfect their tajweed or to memorise selected surahs.
