Quran classes for families in Derby
About 29,000 Derby residents, 11% of the city, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Most families are of Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage and live in Normanton, Pear Tree and around the Arboretum, often described as England's first public park, opened in 1840. Panjabi and Urdu are the most common community languages, with Kurdish too.
Many families who grew up in Normanton have since moved to Littleover, Sunnyhill, Mickleover and Chellaston, and drive back in for classes. Online lessons save that journey.
The University of Derby, and major employers such as Rolls-Royce, also bring Muslim students and professionals to the city who want to learn around their work.
Families in Spondon, Borrowash, Draycott and towards Long Eaton are often far from the established classes in Normanton. Online lessons give children there a teacher of their own.
