It is therefore our mission to effectively instil traditional morals & values while ensuring excellence through an integrated curriculum based upon:

• Internationally renowned best practices in teaching and learning primarily based on the British Curriculum.
• UAE curriculum for Arabic language, Islamic studies, and social studies.

Goals

Academic Education

We aim to ensure that children leave this school with the necessary skills for their future development. We aim to establish and maintain the highest standards of education in order to achieve the learning outcomes commensurate with their potential.

To that end we will provide a rich, stimulating diverse and differentiated curriculum, of which the National Curriculum is a part, which encourages exploration, reflection and progression and which acknowledges the pupils’ individual needs as they develop. The delivery of the curriculum through progressive and forward-thinking teaching will provide learning experiences which are enjoyable, stimulating and challenging and which encourage critical and innovative thinking.

The school will provide a meaningful context for learning experiences, in and out of the classroom, with a concomitant concentration on high expectations, on soaring self-belief and on learning skills and attitudes which will enable our children to use their own initiative, gradually taking responsibility for their own learning.

This approach will lead the child to develop a love of learning and to develop a focused approach to work and appropriate attitudes towards lifelong learning and to raise their aspirations

No education system can be world-class without valuing and integrating creativity in the curriculum and in teaching and learning. Creative education is not only about arts: creativity is possible in all areas of human activity and it is equally fundamental to advances in the sciences, in mathematics, technology, business and in all areas of everyday life.

Children with English as a second language or Arabic as an additional language will receive assistance from teachers and other specialists within the school. This is deliberately designed to ensure full inclusivity and to ensure that the educational needs of all children are seen as special and that no child feels either excluded or marginalized.

Cultural Education

Our aim is to provide greater awareness of cultural diversity and this will be incorporated into school life through their study of Science, Islamic Studies, Social Studies, Arts and Craft and all other areas of the school curriculum.

This aspect of education will, when fully understood, lead to respect and understanding of a dynamic interlinked and interdependent cultural development for the school and its community. This will in turn establish every child as a self-confident individual with a desire to enrich not only their own life but those of others.

Emotional Education

• To help children develop self-esteem and self-confidence and to recognise that they have a worthwhile contribution to make to school
• To nurture in all a sense of responsibility for the School, for the community and the environment for the benefit of their own future and the future of the world.

Children learn most efficiently if they are taught within a safe and secure environment. It is one of the prime aims of this school to provide such a learning environment for all its pupils.

We aim to create in our children a positive sense of self-identity. We will foster their self-confidence and heighten their sensitivity to the needs of others. Our outcome based learning objectives will focus on supporting our children to adopt the highest levels of self-discipline and self-respect by making informed judgments based on the true values of a humane and civil society.

We will encourage the children to form firm relationships with their peers, their elders and the wider community. A paramount duty will be to promote, in each child, an understanding of their place in relation to others within a global society.

Moral Education

We aim to encourage our children to explore the full range of attitudes and values which form the basis of high moral judgments.

We will foster in our children an ethical code which will give them a clear sense of right and wrong together with an appreciation of the many differences between good and evil. Our teachers will always encourage our pupils to explore the intended and unintended consequences of their actions within a supportive learning environment.

The school will teach correct moral values in all areas of the curriculum and will actively promote the use of positive role models throughout the school in order to realize the needs of children to have morally upright heroes and heroines.

All issues of bullying- whether physical, verbal or by omission, racism, intolerance and other negative outside influences will be dealt with immediately and within the framework of the school policies.

Good behaviour will be actively promoted throughout the school within the framework of a ‘positive reinforcement behaviour policy’ and the Home-School Agreement.

Physical Education

We aim to develop in each child a desire for self-fulfilment through the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

The development of a positive attitude towards oneself hinges on a desire to respect the gift (Amanah), given by God, of our body.

In pursuance of this aim our children will be encouraged to make full use of all our facilities for physical education including the swimming pool. Changing facilities and other arrangements associated with physical education will ensure the privacy and dignity for our children by complying with the religious and culturally sensitive needs of the home and the family.

The school will teach the full range of physical activities and will also offer a range of out of school activities as well as competitive sports. Through these activities pupils will learn to value the benefits which may be earned from both individual effort and team co-operation.

Our school will encourage the child to live by a code based upon:

• A healthy life-style.
• Physical well-being.
• Modesty.
• Abstention from abusive behaviour towards others.

Respect for each other’s privacy.

Social Education

We aim to put our children at the centre of a genuine partnership between home, school and the community. This partnership will be based on a framework of mutual respect and will include formally agreed strategies governing behaviour and discipline.

A prime aim of the school will be to actively foster:

• The development of responsible citizenship
• Good behaviour and self-discipline, based on mutual respect
• An acceptance that tolerance, between and within home, school and community will enable each child to grow into a responsible adult.
• A realization that the common humanity we share unites us all and that we should strive to defeat the twin enemies of ignorance and prejudice.

A togetherness which both celebrates our differences and recognizes our mutual bonds.

Spiritual Education

We aim to foster in every child a sense of liberation, a sense of joy and a sense of awe together with an appreciation of the wonderful gift of life, within an Islamic framework.

Our school aims to be a model community based on an acceptance that all are equal and that respect, when earned, through personal effort can lead to harmony and understanding. Staff will be responsible, through their care and empathy, for the promotion of respect for elders and all other members of our culturally diverse community. Members of our school community will experience this in the day-to-day administration of the school.

The school will follow the scheme laid down by the Ministry of Education for Religious Education and Social Studies.
