Student Life

Daily timetable, facilities and campus life at Rawdhatul Ilm Wal Huda.

A Purposeful Environment for Study and Growth

Students will be introduced to welfare officers and senior students upon their admission. A Boarder’s Leaflet will be given to pupils to familiarise themselves with the relevant practices at Rawdha and the facilities on offer. This will include disciplinary, welfare, health and safety issues as well as advice on laundry and parental contact.

The school day runs from drop-off at 8:15 am to 6:00 pm, with school lessons in the morning and Madrasah lessons in the afternoon. Saturday is a shorter day built around tarbiyah and extra-curricular activities.
