How do we plan to achieve these objectives?

• Lessons are planned to meet the needs of the children, according to their age/ability.

There are 3 classes altogether

Policies  

Admittance/Registration:

• Children will be admitted from ages 6 to 16.
• Each class should have a maximum of 30 children.
• Admission normally occurs at the beginning of each school year.
• When there is a vacant place during the 1st or 2nd term in a particular class, admission may be permitted.

Preference will be given to children:

• Who have older brothers and sisters in attendance
• Children who are on the waiting list

A special concession is made for teachers who are desperately needed.  Their child will be admitted younger than 6 yrs.

Discipline:

We believe that the school should be a happy and secure place for all.  Therefore, we encourage every child to behave in a responsible and self-disciplined manner and to be concerned about the needs and rights of others. 

We ask the children to:

• Greet fellow Muslims with “assalamu-alaikum”
• Always walk and speak quietly
• Treat everyone with respect
• Help everyone to enjoy school
• Respect other people’s right to speak
• Be sensible
• Tidy up before leaving school
• Be friendly

Bullying, name calling, fighting and ganging up is strictly forbidden.  Continuous aggressive behaviour is discussed with the parents concerned and appropriate action is taken by the Head of the School.

A log book would be kept in every class.

Attendance/Tardiness:  

If a child is continually late for school, the parents will receive a warning. If lateness still occurs, the child will be suspended. If a child is absent without reason more than twice per half term, a warning will be sent to the parents. If absences continue after the warning, the child will be suspended from the school. If your child is unable to attend school on the day then inform us on: 07920423341.

Dress Code:

Clothing should:

• cover the entire body except the hands and face for girls
• not be transparent
• be loose, not tight-fitting
• boys should not wear trousers that come above the knee

Break time snack:

The Islamic School would like to remind parents to try to provide their children with a good healthy snack at the School.
We would encourage the inclusion of:

• A piece of fruit
• A small snack such as crisps or biscuits
• A drink such as water, fruit juice

Please try to avoid fizzy drinks, chocolate or sweets, all of which are generally unhealthy or harmful for teeth.

Parking:

We would also like to remind parents you should ensure your car are NOT parked in the front of the building at any time and collect your child safely and promptly.

Collection of your child at the end of the school day:

SCHOOL ENDS PROMPTLY AT:

• 7.00pm. Monday to Thursday
• 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday

For children in the age of 10 or above ideally, parents should also collect their child from the classroom.  However, it is accepted by the school that some parents feel their child is responsible enough to leave the class by themselves and either meet their parents outside the school or make their own way home.  If you allow your child to leave the class alone, then we would like to remind parents that the School’s responsibility for the care of your child ends when they leave the classroom and you are then responsible for your child.

It is also noted that some parents are sending an older brother or sister to collect children from younger classes.  In this case, again the School accepts no responsibility for the care of your child once they have left the classroom.
 
Payment of Fees  

Cash/Cheque payments should be made each term in the first week of the Month.

Cheques should be made payable to South Kilburn Muslim Community

Parents’ Role  

Here are some ways in which you can help your children to reinforce what they have learnt in the school:

1. Discuss with your children what they have learnt in school. If they have learnt any Surahs/Duas, help them to memorise them. Praise them for their effort. If they are not doing well or not taking interest in their work, come and talk to the teacher and find out how you can help. If you need to see a class teacher, please arrange a time before or after school.
2. Make sure they do their homework regularly. If a child continuously does not complete homework, parents will be informed. If there is no response after the warning, the child will be removed from school.
3. Bring and collect them from school on time. Lessons begin at 5:00pm and finish at 7:00pm Monday to Thursday and 1:00pm and finish 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday. School entrance will be locked at 15 Minutes after the Beginning and will be opened at the end of the Lesson.
4. Make sure that you are good role models for your children at home and at school. At school arrive at least 15 Minutes Before start the class.
5. During the month of Ramadan school is closed for holiday.
6. Read the school policies and make sure you are following the rules.

Education starts at home, exerting a strong influence on the upbringing of a child.  The children are our future, so it is up to parents/teachers to educate them in such a way that they will grow up with the help of Allah (S.W.T) to be confident, practicing Muslims.

IT IS A VENTURE WHICH SHOULD CONCERN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
