Islamic learning

We offer daily instruction in Qur’an, Arabic Language, Islamic Studies and Scouts. At the same time, we provide an atmosphere in which the students can practice their faith freely and receive feedback to improve their understanding of Islam. With our constant assessment of the syllabus we ensure we provide the children with an education which is meaningful and relevant to their lives as British Muslims.

Arabic language

Arabic language is an integral part of the Muslim faith and the language of the Qur’an. Therefore we believe it is vital the children are introduced to Arabic language from an early age. The Arabic syllabus we have adopted is specifically designed for non-Arab children, with an equal emphasis on Speaking, listening, writing and reading. The main focus is classical and modern standard Arabic taught by native Arabic speaking teachers.

Holistic Islamic Education

We aim to provide an education which encompasses and engages the whole child, spiritually, emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. The school system we seek is one where every child is inspired to develop a lifelong love of learning; where we are concerned not only with the instruction and training of the mind and the transmission of knowledge but also with the development of the whole being.

Scouts Activities

Scouting is a value based educational movement which offers an excellent balanced learning programme and shares it’s principles with Young Mu’mins. Scouts provides a wonderful opportunity to our children to become involved in a range of activities, events and adventure. We firmly believe by introducing scouting, it will help children develop into balanced, wholesome, honest children with outstanding characters.

Friendly Environment

We offer an environment that is conducive to the intellectual, social, spiritual and physical growth of your child. The ambiance of the school will make the child proud to study there. Children excel in all aspects of life when they grow up in such a safe and nurturing environment.

Highly Qualified Staff

We demand a great deal from our teaching staff. Our teachers will be actively and genuinely engaged in the teaching process and also trained in the latest pedagogical techniques. All of our staff are DBS cleared and given safeguarding and other training regularly.

Pedagogical Methods and Technology

We will utilise 21st century technology and pedagogical practices which will revolutionise the educational experience and enhance learning with the aim of empowering each child to explore his or her personal creativity, promote learning and improve productivity. The children have access to the latest Apple technology to accelerate their learning and introduce an element of fun and excitement.

Individually Tailored Plans

We provide an individual tailored learning programme for each child, in agreement with the Parents. Individual Learning Plans (ILP) are implemented to ensure that programmes of education are adapted and modified to each individual according to their needs and abilities. Each child is recognised as having innate abilities, aptitudes and talents and it is our aim to develop these to the full through the ILP.

Parental Involvement

We aim to support parents whilst their child is in our care. We will have ‘Parent Support Networks’ which will give parents the opportunity to share their concerns, experiences and information. Calendar events will include parent training sessions, information workshops, social gatherings and performances to celebrate student achievement.

Extra-Curricular Activities

We aim to help our students develop into fully-rounded young adults. As such we do not simply focus on academic development but also place great importance on providing extra-curricular opportunities. We endeavor to cater for the widest possible interests and include, Sports clubs, leadership coaching, educational trips and much more.

Students will be organised into small groups and all 3 subjects will be taught by specially trained teachers in that particular field. Instead of one teacher teaching all the subjects, the children will move from one classroom to the next. The classes will be organized in teaming arrangements with students seeing more than one teacher for their subjects.

At present we have an average of 12 children per class in our Arabic and Islamic Studies class, with an additional teacher’s assistant in some of the classes resulting in a 5:1 ratio ideally). In our Qur’an classes we have an average of 5 or 6 children per teacher. As we intend to use various educational methods, we feel the teacher will be connected at a much greater degree with each child.

Yes, your child will have a short assessment when he/she attends the first session. Parents are also invited to come in to discuss their child/children’s progress and any recommendations which the teachers have made.

The Principal and deputy Principal are always available to discuss student progress at any point in the school year.

Teachers primarily use the ‘School Management System’ (Bromcom) as a way of keeping parents informed about individual progress or issues.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to email or phone the school at any time with questions or concerns regarding student progress.

The school is presently located on 4-6 Hanworth Road, Hounslow, TW3 1UA (formerly known as College House)

Parents are welcome to visit the school to meet the staff or discuss their child’s progress. However, the school policy requires that all visitors report to the office to sign in and secure a visitor’s badge before going to any part of the building. This policy has been created to avoid unnecessary interruption of classes and to assist in providing a safe and secure learning environment. Unfortunately, due to the high demand a parent tour of the building is not possible during operational hours and annual Parent Induction days are the only times when a visit is possible.
