Essex madressa held its 3rd annual Parents day on 12th June 2010 to Lawford Mead School. The day commenced at 10:30 with all students and their parents seeing various teachers and getting feedback on their performance for the year so far. This day proved to be  success again with parents and Madressa team sharing their thoughts, concerns and ideas.

At 1200, all proceeded to main hall for the function on account of Lady Fatima (SA) day. The function was anchored by Br. Zainali Panjwani. He first invited Year 9 students Ali Raza Zaman and Ali Asghar Zaman, who recited and translated verses from Sura Deher, recalling the nadhr of Lady Fatima (SA) and her household, when they fasted for three days and then gave away their Iftar to needy people. This was followed by presentation from Sakina class students who called out titles and the meanings of Lady Fatima (SA).

Then students from Maryam Class presented a play based on Hadith-e-Kisa when Allah sent Angel Jibra'il to the house of Lady Fatima (SA) to inform them of Allah's intention to keep the people of cloak (panjatan) pure and clean from any dirt.
