Behaviour

Behaviour is very good: pupils are attentive, responsive and interested in all the learning opportunities the school presents to them. Ofsted October 2008

We have a respectful and happy atmosphere. Good behaviour is maintained and enhanced within the school through the understanding of Islamic tarbiyyah. Children learn by example and teachers provide strong Islamic role models-wearing hijaab, praying salah everyday with the children and maintaining good akhlaq with children and fellow teachers and other satff.

Within Al-Hijrah we work together with the children to overcome problems, by using positive rewards and praise and by inspiring all children to live and practise the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

On a small number of occasions sanctions become necessary. Minor incidences of of behaviour will be dealt with by withdrawal of classroom priveleges.

In more serious cases it may be necessary to involve the parents in finding a solution. If the matter is very serious the Headteacher may consider a temporary or permanent exclusion. The Headteacher and the Deputy Head have overall responsibility for discipline within the school.

Complaints Procedure

Al-Hijrah Primary School believes in developing and maintaining a strong partnership between the school and home, and is committed to resolving, at an early stage, any concerns that may arise.

If a situation arises that may cause concern for both the school and the parents, it is important that both co-operate to resolve the matter.

The Primary School has a procedure in place for dealing with informal complaints. If a parent or guardian is not satisfied with the informal process, then a more formal process may be initiated by writing to the headteacher.

No formal complaints made in the last academic year.
