Programs(2014__2015)

1-Bismillah Section(Nursery,kG1,KG2)

BS is offered for the first three years of schooling. With TTM qualified teachers and access to

extensive Montessori material, students benefit from hands-on activities in a specially

designed Montessori environment. A remarkably low student to teacher ratio of 10:1 helps give

individual attention to each child.


10/38

2-IQRA Section (Grades 1 - 2.)

It is offered for those students who have passed Bismillah Section. It consists of two

years.

3-Suffa Section(Grades 3--5)

It offers two programs;

1-Hifz e Quran along with Modern Education

2-Nazra e Quran along with Modern Education

Character Building Management(CBM)

SANABILis bound to set up high aspiration for each and every child. Our children are given

wings to hatch high aspirations for life in this 'Dhuniya and Aakhira'. We want to create not

the followers but the Leaders for the society. We lead the child through a step by step processin which he realize his potential, set up his life ambition and direct him how to achieve those

ambitions and trains him to excel in which he wants to be. For example not a doctor but a

great sincere and kind doctor whom a patient really wants to, An honest politician whom

people admires. So the main objective of the school is to induce these values to achieve the

Will of ALLAH by excelling their chosen profession.

. Salah Diary

We strongly believe that the early years is the best time to lay down the stone of faith and

religious routines and the love for Masjid in a child's mind. Prophet (SAW) said if you

knew the reward for Fajr salat and Isha salat in the Masjid, they would come crawling. We

can only find a few people during the Isha and Fajr in the masjid. So Insha Allah we need to

change the statuesque. The salat times falls within the school timing we pray them inside the

masjid.Boys will pray the Salah at the Masjid while girls in the school. School monitors

the children whether they pray their salat at five times a day. During the school hours class

teachers mark in their salah Diary and while they are at home parents has to mark it. Those

who score more will be rewarded every week at their golden time and there will be monthly

rewards as well. We could encourage the quest for prayer through salah diary.

Islamic behavior chart

Instead of forcing the children to practice good values and behaviors we are giving them small

rewards and generate the love for Islam by the means of Islamic Behaviors chart, stickers etc.

It is been psychologically proven that positive reinforcements will be more effective to form

and reform the character formation.

Environment

Sanabil provides an ideal environment which is based on strengthening one's bond with Allah

resulting in stimulating positivity and the desire to learn, grow and succeed.

Practice Days;

Although every day is a practical day for a Muslim yet some days are mentioned here

to make Islamic environment in our society..Quran Day,Dawa Day,Parents

Day,Hurmat Day,Event Day,Salam Day,Help Day,Kalima Day,Salat Day,Zakat

Day,Teachers Day. All these days are a practice for making practical Muslims.

Discipline Policy

This policy will encourage pupil to set high standards of behavior through self-discipline by

recognizing the rights of all pupil to education in an atmosphere contusive to learning and in

a safe environment.

1. Practice

Parents and pupil are made aware of the standards of behavior expected through the

codes of conduct and the publication of the school rules. The theme of good behavior

is regularly reinforced through the citizenship program, tutorials ad during the assembly.

There is a system of rewards and sanctions which is implemented by all staff.

2. Rewarding helpful behaviour

Praise is a great motivator and should be given freely in whatever way is most appropriate for

the children concerned orally, with stars/smiley faces/stickers, by employing positive

comments first when marking work, etc. Praising the first child ready is often more effective

than nagging the last, as it reinforces positive expectations.

a. Stickers -Children can earn stickers in addition to green cards.

b. Going for Gold- Each week a child is chosen for the Going for Gold award. A letter is sent

home to parents and the award displayed in school.

c. Golden Time- At times during the year children can earn Golden Time. This is time when

children can choose their activity. Other awards at discretion of teachers. Lunchtime table for

excellent behaviour.

Withdrawal of playtime privileges

In the case of recurring problems, other strategies can be used, there are a few:

- a pattern of rewards and sanctions which suit the child and the problem

- discussing with parents the nature of the problem and how to manage it

- involving the principal in highlighting the seriousness of the problem and monitoring

progress Immediate response to a problem may sometimes include short time out periods

Morning Assembly

School starts promptly at 8:30 a.m. Every morning we will start our day with ADYA MASORA(morning supplications that Prophet Mohammad taught us).

The morning assembly is part of the school daily activities. Students will receive points for

attending it. It is a great way to start the school day. It gets the children ready for a

productive day. All students are required to be in assembly ground for morning assembly at

8:25 a.m. (Early Pre K students should be brought directly to their classroom and left with the

teacher.) Parents may drop their children in the driveway entrance starting at 8:00 a.m.

Students are not allowed in the building before 8:00 a.m. because there is no adult supervision

before that time, and the school is not responsible for any child dropped off earlier than the

designated time. All parents should pick up their children at 4:00 p.m.Parents must filean authorization form in the principals office if the parent authorizes an individual other than

the parent or legal guardian to pick the child up during the academic year. Parents are also

responsible for any after school care; that is, child care beyond 4:00 p.m. Classes Classes

begin at 8:25 a.m. The class teacher will escort students after the Morning Assembly in the

Gymnasium to the class. Students are expected to be respectful to the administration,

teachers, and parent volunteers. Remember that we are indebted to the one who has taught

us even one letter. Students are to be attentive, responsible, and careful of personal property

as well as the property of others. Students must remain in classes during scheduled lessons,

and must not leave their desks without their teachers permission. Other than cases of

extreme emergency, students should not approach the office without their teacherspermission. Parents may be called only with the administrations permission.

Lunch Students will report to the lunchroom in an orderly manner. Their class teachers will

escort them.

Lunch time

Sanabil strongly advice all our parents need to provide their children with a suitable

packed lunch. It would need to be balanced and healthy, for example a sandwich, pasta, rice,

fruits and juices with low/no added sugar. It is very important that children have a balanced

and healthy diet as this helps to increase childrens attention span. Hot meals are not yetavailable for pupils during lunch times. All packed lunches must be brought in a plastic

container or lunch box with the child's name clearly marked on the outside. We strongly

encourage parents to invest in their children's mental and physical health by providing

healthy, well-balanced, packed lunches for their children. We do not allow children to eat

sweets, crisps or chocolate bars as a part of their packed lunch . Drinks must be Halal but not

fizzy. There is a microwave available within the school which can be used to warm up their

food. Any child found with items that are forbidden, it will be taken away from them and will

be held onto until the end of the day. Please encourage children to have nutritious and

healthy food such as egg, meat, vegetables and fruits with some amount of nuts and dry fruits.

Lunch rules are as follows:

Good table manners are expected of everyone.

Do keep your food on your plates; do not throw it.

Students are expected to eat their own lunches.

school premises with separated areas for boys and girls. When prayer times fall in the midst of

school finishing time, children would be expected to pray before going home. All children are

expected to respect and uphold the major tenets of Islam in or out of school. We

expect all parents to teach their children the basics of how to pray and perform wudhu and toensure that their child understands the importance of this aspect of Islam. Please also

remind your child about the etiquettes to observe when praying, such as to be quiet, not to

fidget or disturb others who are praying. You cooperation in this matter is crucial and we

suggest that parents lead by example and also encourage their child through positive praise as

much as possible so that they build a love for praying.Salah is the second pillar of Islam.

Students must approach it with the proper degree of decorum. Students should not

loiter in the wudu area. Students must enter the prayer area quietly and prepare to

line up for prayer properly.

Unnecessary conversation is discouraged. Students must obey and respect the IslamicEducation Teacher in charge for the day. After prayer students should not loiter, but return

to class as quietly, and as orderly as possible and always remain under the supervision of the

respective class teacher assigned to the period following prayer. Friday Prayer Every Friday

students (grades 3 8) will attend the Friday prayer. Their teachers will escort them to and

from the prayer area. Students in grades Early Pre K 2nd grade may attend Friday prayer

with a parent. This parent would pick them up from class and bring them back following

prayer. Children are not allowed to go home directly after prayer, but must complete the

school day on Fridays. The school no longer has Friday Activity time. Regular classes will

continue following Jummah.

the policy of the school and to apply it consistently and fairly. It meant to to promote self-


26/38

discipline and consideration of others. It should reflect in their behavior and language

and to release their maximum potential in all activities. Behavior policy is designed in such a

way that, it is used and approved by all the teaching and non-teaching staff and school

ensures that parents are well aware of these disciplinary measures. It also provide a system

of rewards to encourage good behavior. This policy is used to try and reverse continuous and

habitual offenders by using assertive discipline techniques and ensure a safe, caring andhappy school. Therefore school promotes good citizenship and prevent all kinds of

bullying. The establishment of a sound, positive and caring ethos is an essential

prerequisite for learning. It depends upon trusting relationships and a process of cooperative

team work and the school welcomes and encourages the involvement of the RISE,

governors, parents and carers and others in the community.

Anti-Bullying Policy

We are a learning community promoting the Islamic values of mutual trust, care and

respect. East London Islamic school is committed to providing a caring, friendly, safeand secure environment for all of our children so they can learn in a relaxed and secure

atmosphere, without any worry. Bullying is unacceptable at our school. We do all we can to

prevent it, by developing a School ethos in which bullying is regarded as unacceptable. We

aim to make all those connected with the school aware of our opposition to bullying, and we

make clear each persons responsibilities with regard to preventing bullying in our

School. If bullying does occur, all children should be able to tell and know that incidents will

be dealt with promptly and effectively. We are a TELLING School. This means that anyone

who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the staff. All adult members of our

school community should be vigilant to recognize where bullying is taking place, and

deal with it thoroughly and with sensitivity.

School Visits

SANABIL has a detailed policy to safeguard and promote the health and safety of the

pupil on activities outside the school. This covers the full risk assessment and the associated

information. Educational visits are arranged on average once a term, to various places of

interest to support Childrens learning. Parents/guardians may be asked to contribute

towards the cost of the trip and occasionally to assist with the trip. For the most part,

the school provides materials and equipment that the children need. Sometimes certain

educational activities involving sports, food, game and art may require small contributions

from parents for the visits to take place. SANABILis pledged to meet all the health and safetymeasures in prior to all the educational visits. Pupils as well as parents are given with

sufficient awareness classes about the particulars of the visit.

Academic Performances

SANABIL will assess each student thoroughly at the time of admission. There will be

continuous and comprehensive evaluation criteria to assess the performance of the

students throughout the academic year. At the end of the academic year the school will send

reports to all the parents.

Homework

SANABIL believes that children learn the best when parents and teachers work together.

Parents can help in the classroom by hearing children read, sharing their skills and also

participating on outings. At home, we hope parents are able to share the enjoyment of books,

puzzles and Maths games which children take home on a regular basis every week, and

to hear them read regularly. Parents can also help support class work when teachers ask


27/38

children to do some research or to try to collect objects to enrich school projects. Details

of such and other homework are provided to all parents by the class teachers at a team

meeting at the beginning of each term. Homework is a collective responsibility of the

class teacher, pupil and the parent. Teachers should inspect that the homework

demands should not infringe on childrens rights to play, physical activities and rest. The

school views home work as an extension of the learning process and not as a test orcompetition.

Attendance, leave and illness

School has a strict policy on attendance and punctuality as it has great influence on the

discipline. Parents are required to inform the school on the first day their child is absent from

school. The school requires an explanation in writing for all absences on the childs return.

The school discourages holidays during term time. Permission for holiday leave must be

requested in advance from the Principal. Should your child suffer from a medical condition, it

is imperative that the school is notified immediately.

a snapshot of what a student can do at a particular time and is useful for tracking

students progress and providing students with group targets.

Assessment details will be compiled in the assessment calendars which will be produced

annually with the cycle beginning in Aprial. On going assessmentsThe learning intentions areshared at the beginning of the lesson. The learning focus is made clear and is used as a

reference point for informal teacher assessments at the end of each session. The success

criteria are discussed with the students when appropriate.
