A pupil can choose the Hifz section where a considerable amount of time is given to memorizing the Qur'an in addition to studying the National Curriculum subjects. Since the task of memorizing the whole Qur'an normally requires extra  time and effort, pupils from the Hifz section do not attend some of the optional subjects.
