Quran classes for families in Sunderland
About 4,800 Sunderland residents, 1.8% of the city, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. The established Bangladeshi community, centred around Millfield and the city centre, sits alongside Pakistani, Arab and other families, and students at the University of Sunderland.
Sunderland is a city of distinct districts on both sides of the River Wear, and the Nissan plant at Washington is one of the region’s biggest employers, with many parents working shifts.
Further out, in Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton and the East Durham towns of Seaham and Peterlee, Muslim families are fewer still.
Shift workers at Nissan and in the hospitals can move lesson days by arrangement when rotas change, and children keep the same teacher.
Bengali-speaking teachers in Sunderland
For Bangladeshi families, a teacher who explains in Bengali can talk with parents and grandparents in the family language while teaching children in English. Lessons can also be fully in English. Most children start with Noorani Qaida.

Planning lessons around school and salah in Sunderland
Sunderland children usually learn after school; in December the sun sets before 3:40pm, so many families pray Maghrib first and then start the lesson.
English schools usually break up in the second half of July and return in early September. Sunderland City Council publishes the exact term dates. In Sunderland, Maghrib moves from 15:39 in late December to 21:47 in late June; in Ramadan 2027, expected to begin around 8 February, iftar runs from about 16:54 to 17:55.
