Quran classes for families in Reading
About 15,500 Reading residents, almost 9% of the town, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. The established community is mainly of Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage, around the Oxford Road, Newtown and Katesgrove, with growing Arab, Somali and other communities. Urdu and Arabic are the most common Muslim community languages.
Reading is a commuter town: the Elizabeth line and Great Western trains carry thousands of parents into London every day, and many get home after their children's bedtime routine has begun. A lesson at home, timed for just after school, does not depend on a parent being back.
The University of Reading at Whiteknights also brings many Muslim students, including postgraduates from overseas.
Families in Wokingham, Bracknell, Thatcham, Newbury and Camberley are often far from any established Quran class. Online lessons give children there the same teachers as children in Reading.
Quran classes for kids while parents commute
For children in Reading, a 30-minute lesson at 4:30pm or 5pm, with a grandparent or older sibling at home, keeps learning steady even when both parents are on the train. Parents can join the lesson by phone from wherever they are. See how lessons work.

Reading children usually learn between 4:30pm and 6:30pm; on the August bank holiday weekend the Reading Festival brings heavy traffic, but home lessons are unaffected.
