Testimonials

Below are some comments from parents and community partners about their experiences of MMPS. We are thrilled to have such positive feedback. 

The Prep School instilled Islamic values in all three of my children, while also teaching them the importance of fundamental Islamic practices such as prayer, fasting, charity, kindness and respect. These teachings gave my children a foundation to build upon at home, with their family and most importantly their elders. These values were maintained by all three of them when they continued their studies at high school, college and university.

The prep school did not hinder my children’s ability to adjust to high school or college life, instead it taught them right from wrong and allowed them to freely and actively continue practicing their religion alongside their studies. The prep school taught them how to lead prayer, give the Adhan and lead Jummah prayer which allowed them to pray and organise Jummah prayer in their non-Muslim schools.

The students at the prep school were taught to a high academic standard and many of the students, including my children, attained Level 6 SATs. The school’s Islamic teachings did not negatively impact my children’s academic performance. Despite some parents feeling their children will not be able to excel academically, I found the school to have achieved the correct balance between academic and Islamic teaching

Most importantly for me, the school taught them their mother tongue of Urdu. This was an invaluable aspect of the school, which not only helped them learn a second language but most importantly allowed them to communicate fluently and confidently with members of their family. This was particularly essential for my children as it allowed them to build a relationship with their grandparents. Thanks to the school’s initial teaching, two of my children were able to achieve an A* in their Urdu GCSEs. Without the school providing 6 years of Urdu education, this would not have been possible.

The prep school also allowed the children to have Weekends as proper days off. Whereas other children who went to non-Muslim schools would have to attend Quran or Islamic classes, my children were able to spend their weekends with family, completing homework or generally enjoying well deserved time off.

Without the Prep School, my children would not have been taught Islamic conduct, Arabic, Qur’an and Urdu alongside their usual academic subjects. This allowed them to mature into exemplary young Muslims who went on to attain GCSEs, A-Levels and attend University, pursuing courses in Accounting and Law.

Many thanks for bringing your pupils to the Whitworth. I trust that they enjoyed it. I was very impressed by their behaviour in the gallery and the quality of their work.

‘The Iftar was a very heartwarming event’
Just to reflect and think about the impact this sort of events can have on our children’s minds, SubhanAllah! The steps that the school takes to make Ramadan special with decorations alone and how parents also contribute with gifts has a good impact and creates great memories for the kids Alhamdulillah.
May Allah (swt) reward all the parents and teachers for the effort they all put in to make Ramadan special for our little ones Ameen.

I attended the Manchester Safeguarding Children conference at the Bridgewater hall and saw the performance by the children regarding Islamophobia and racism. I was extremely impressed by the children and how well they we’re able to articulate how this behaviour impacts them.

Dear Head Teacher

No words can thank you enough for what you and the staff have done to support and nurture our kids. We are eternally grateful for the amazing time our kids had a MMPS last year. We are devastated to be leaving such an amazing school. 

Parent of Year 5-, Year 3- and Reception child, January 2023

“I just want to thank you and all the staff for your outstanding online work during lockdown.

The work set has been spot on, zoom sessions are all excellent and teacher feedback has been outstanding. I’m sure all parents struggled like me, with children who weren’t paying attention to studies due to distractions but the teachers were all understanding and supportive.

I would also like to thank all the senior staff and everyone else who work tirelessly to make the school run during this difficult time. I feel honoured that my boys go to the school Alhamdulila.

I pray that Allah swt protects you all and rewards you all for all your hard work and dedication.”

Spending the day with the kids trying to do their work with them…. I want to say ‘hats off’ to the teachers (I know why I am not a teacher now 😂) May Allah bless you all with good health. Ameen.”

“Salam, first day has been really productive. I’m super impressed and wholly appreciative of the immense efforts and organisation behind  facilitating homeschooling for us all. I know of many other schools who have not been able to organise themselves and facilitate a fully interactive homeschooling process in such a short span of time, so this is well and truly a credit to the teamwork of all MMPS staff -JazakAllah khairan.May Allah swt reward everyone abundantly and protect us all, ameen.”

Year 1 Parent

“Thank you MMPS.

I was actually amazed with the level of the service that the school provided to our children! Well, actually I know that we have a high level of commitment from the school in all endeavours (ethics, manners, education, Islamic conduct, activities, and much more), but within this critical times, and everyone in the world is struggling on how to cope, we found an outstanding level from MMPS school.

I found all the materials (including full detailed videos in class dojo, with all needed homework and exercises), not only this, I found my daughter is fully equipped with class dojo, and the teacher already was ahead and set up portfolios for every student and trained them well on how to use it!

I honestly wanted to write this letter to thank all MMPS staff who are working hard from their heart to support us as parents and students to make it easy and smooth during hard times.”
