Keeping Quran going during UK school holidays

Published 26 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

In short

Holidays are a great time to catch up, not stop. Keep the regular lesson time if you can, and add a short daily revision goal while there is no homework.

  • Don't pause completely — children forget quickly.
  • Use morning slots while there's no school.
  • Online lessons continue even when travelling.

Why not take a full break

Six weeks off in summer can undo months of Qaida or Hifz progress. Even two short lessons a week keep memory fresh.

Holiday ideas

  • Move lessons to late morning while there's no school
  • Set a holiday goal, like finishing a Qaida section or one surah
  • Take the laptop when visiting family — lessons work anywhere with internet

Tell the teacher early

Share your holiday dates and travel plans so the teacher can adjust timings in advance.

Parents also ask

Can lessons continue if we travel abroad?

Yes, online lessons work from anywhere with a stable internet connection. Just agree the timings for your time zone.
