Our Partnership with you

Communication witht he school and home is essential as children achieve more when teachers and parents work together.

To facilitate this partnership and to encourage students to extend their learning, homework is given great emphasis at Al-Hijrah Primary. Students are set homework for Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Islamic Studies, Arabic and Hifz on a weekly basis.

At the beginning of each half term, parents are sent a curriculum overview which indicates the main topics that children will be covering in school over the next half term and how parents can support this learning at home. Newsletters are also issued half-termly to celebrate students achievements and update parents with key information.

Parents Evenings are held termly and parents are provided with written feedback on their childrens progress and are set targets.

More recently, we have introduced bi-annual 'Inspire Workshops'. Parents are invited to enter the schools learning space and given the opportunity to work with their child to complete a fun, educational activity under the guidance of a teacher. This is a great opportunity for parents, teachers and students to work together towards attaining a common goal.

"I have found the interactive relationship between teachers invaluable - a true partnership for the benefit of our children. Jazakallah." Mrs Qureshi, Parent

Pastoral Care

The quality of pastoral care influences the ethos and the tone of the whole school. It creates an atmosphere in which children feel secure, know that they are valued and encouraged in their learning, growth and social development within a helathy and safe environment.

Teachers, non-teaching staff and other adults all are part of a team. This team ensures students are happy and secure in whatever activity they are taking part in, whether social, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical. We have a caring commitment to guide and advise our students, equpping them with the skills needed to face the outside world. Teachers and non-teaching staff are encouraged to apporach the care of our children in a positive way.
