1. INTRODUCTIONNoor Ul Islam Primary School has adopted many of its policies afterinitial consultations between the staff and the Governing Body.These policies and guidelines are subject to regular review by theGoverning Body of the school. Where this or any other schooldocument refers to parents, this is defined as either parents orguardians unless specifically stated.

THE SCHOOL POLICYDOCUMENT

The staff and the members of the Governing Body of Noor Ul IslamPrimary School are aware of their responsibilities towards ensuringthat all our pupils are offered a learning environment which is safeand secure. Our policies and procedures will be within theframework of the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah of our Holy Prophet(SAW). This framework offers the best protection for all our childrensince Allah (SWT) has clearly stated that our children are a preciousgift for us.

O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families froma fire whose fuel is men and stones. (TMQ 66:6)

Therefore, it is a duty incumbent upon all Muslim parents to lookafter their children and offer them the best environment to developas the best amongst human beings. The staff and governors ofNoor Ul Islam Primary School are adopting these policies andprocedures with that divine guidance in mind.

CURRICULUMNoor Ul Islam Primary School will endeavour to follow most of thedemands of the National Curriculum. This requires that every childshould have a broad and balanced curriculum. The NationalCurriculum for Primary Schools consists of the following subjects:

English, Mathematics, Science (also known as core subjects), ICT,Design & Technology, History, Geography, Art, Religious Educationand Physical Education. Sound Technology is also taught wherechildren learn to use vocal skills through recitation of the Quraanand singing Nasheeds.

The school provides for Human Development lessons from Year 5.This meets the requirements of the Sex Education policy. Parentsare consulted on this and must give permission before the school toteach this to their child. These lessons are taught tactfully andcover only what Islam permits.

The Curriculum policy is available to parents on request from theadministration office.

Special Educational NeedsParents of children identified as having a Special Educational Need(SEN) will be presented with an Individual Educational Plan (IEP),usually from Year 1. This will indicate what is being done to helptheir child. The IEP is regularly reviewed (termly) by the SEN Co-ordinator (SENCO) with input from parents and teachers. Targets

are agreed to ensure progress in the right areas are highlightedand issues are dealt with.

The SEN policy is reviewed annually by the SENCO andHeadteacher. The Board of Governors are informed of issues to dowith SEN. If a pupils needs cannot be met by the school theparents will be informed of this.

English as an Additional LanguagePupils who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL) will begiven support from the teachers. Whilst EAL differs from SEN, the

SENCO and SEN teaching assistant may also have an input here. Itmay be felt that an IEP will be prepared to monitor the childsprogress. Volunteers who have the same first language as the childmay also be approached to help.

AssessmentsRegular assessments are held. Children in Year 2 and Year 6 willalso sit the end of key stage assessments. As well as this otherassessments take place to help teachers evaluate the progress ofpupils. The academic performances of our pupils are recorded andthe preceding years results are available on request from the

schools administration office.

It can be an unresolved single frightening incident, whichcasts a shadow over a child's life, or a series of such incidents.

The schools Bullying policy is available for parents to view. Pleaserequest this from the administration office.

8. DISCIPLINE SYSTEMCentral to the system of Education and Islamic Orientation at theschool is the nurturing of good behaviour in the character of thepupil.

9. HOME/SCHOOL

PARTNERSHIPParents and Staff share an active interest in all that the childundertakes. Maintaining and developing high standards occurthrough regular monitoring and so the school has taken thefollowing steps to encourage parental participation in thedevelopment of their child:

1.Parents Teachers Association: We are looking for parents to

form the PTA to help with fund raising, communications andevents. This team will work with school governors to achieve this.

2.Parents' Evening:Two parents evenings take place during theacademic year. The first parents' evening takes place, during themiddle of the academic year and the second towards the end ofthe year.

The school actively encourages comments and suggestions fromparents. There is a suggestion box in the foyer of the school andparents are welcomed to use this.

Parents are expected to co-operate with the School by taking thelead role in the education of their children. This can be partlyaccomplished by ensuring that the child does his/her homework,revision regularly at home.

The school recruits staff that are suitable for the positions theyhold. In most cases we hope teachers will be qualified. The numberof staff employed at the school (including temporary staff) togetherwith a summary of their qualifications is available from theHeadteacher, via the administration office on request.

NeighbourhoodParents are strongly advised to either walk to school or park wellaway from the school building when commuting to school.

Parents found to be causing a disturbance through their driving,parking or behaviour just outside the school risk losing a place for

their child in school.

made, where the applicant lives, whether the applicant attendedthe Noor Ul Islam Pre-School and whether the applicants parentsare staff at the school).

Data Protection/Fair ProcessingThe school is registered under the Data Protection Act as we holdinformation on pupils in order to support their teaching andlearning, to monitor and report on their progress, to provideappropriate pastoral care and to assess how well the school, as awhole, is doing.

In order to administer the National curriculum tests we are requiredto pass on some of this data to the Qualifications and CurriculumAuthority (QCA) who is responsible for the National Curriculum andassociated assessment arrangements. QCA uses information aboutpupils to administer the National Curriculum tests and assessmentsfor Key Stages 1 to 3. The results of these are passed on toDepartment for Children, School and Families (DCSF) in order tocompile statistics on trends and patterns in levels of achievement.The QCA uses the information to evaluate the effectiveness of theNational Curriculum and the associated assessment arrangements,

and to ensure that these are continually improved.

Pupils, have certain rights under the Data Protection Act, includinga general right of access to personal data held on them, withparents exercising this right on their behalf if they are too young todo so themselves.
