Quran classes for families in Wakefield
About 11,000 people in the Wakefield district, roughly 3% of residents, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Most live in and around Wakefield itself, with smaller numbers in the former mining towns of Castleford, Pontefract, Featherstone and Normanton.
Wakefield is a large district, stretching from Ossett and Horbury in the west to Knottingley and South Elmsall in the east. Outside the city, a Muslim family may be the only one on their street, and the nearest Quran class may be in Wakefield, Leeds or Dewsbury.
That makes a one-to-one Quran teacher at home especially valuable here: children in Hemsworth or South Kirkby get the same structured lessons as children in the city.
In Castleford, Pontefract and Normanton, Muslim children may be the only ones in their class. A regular Quran lesson with a teacher who knows them well helps keep their faith and confidence strong.
Quran classes for adults in Wakefield
Some adults in the Wakefield district are learning the Quran for the first time, as reverts or as adults who missed out as children. A private lesson at home means no one else watches you start from the alphabet. See our classes for reverts and the Quran reading course.

Wakefield Westgate and Kirkgate stations link the city to Leeds and London; many parents commute, so children often learn at 5pm or after Maghrib in winter.

In Wakefield, Maghrib moves from 15:46 in late December to 21:39 in late June; in Ramadan 2027, expected to begin around 8 February, iftar runs from about 16:59 to 17:56.
