UNIFORM

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah is beautiful and he loves beauty.” (Muslim).

The wearing of a school uniform also provides children with a sense of pride and belonging to a community. A community in which each individual is proud to belong; a community where all individuals are encouraged to aim high. As our uniform is based on sunnah clothing, we hope pupils and parents alike will take pride in wearing this attire outside of school as well as in school.

Pupils are expected to wear uniform for the following beneficial reasons:

1. To promote a sense of identity.
2. Smart appearance.
3. To remove competition regarding fashion trends.
4. Economy.

We have very high expectations for presentation including clothes, shoes and hair and immediately address issues which fall short of these expectations.

We ask parents to help their child(ren) attend school dressed smartly with clean and correct uniform daily. Pupils should have multiple sets of uniform to achieve this, as this is one of the reasons, we have kept the uniform simple:

School Uniform Year 7 – 11:

• Plain white Thawb (Jubba) with white izaar OR a white shalwar kameez (strictly no tracksuit bottoms)
• White topi & clean socks
• School fleece, bearing the school logo, available from the office
• White or black amamah (optional)
• A plain t-shirt can be worn under the kamees. The t-shirt shouldn’t be visible over the kamees.

PE Uniform:

• Navy blue/black tracksuit bottoms
• Plain white t-shirt or polo shirt (Strictly no replica football shirts)
• Navy blue/black tracksuit top
• Sensible trainers and clean socks

School Uniform Sixth Form:

• Plain white Thawb (Jubba) OR a white shalwar kameez
• An optional plain black top (non-hooded and without logos) for layering in colder weather
• An optional white izaar (black joggers may be worn under the jubbah for comfort and modesty)
• Amamah

Please do not wear:

• Woolly hats
• Shawls around the neck or back
• Hoodies or clothing that features large logos, slogans, images or badges.
• Coats/jackets in the classroom

 Mobile Phones

• Pupils have full access to the school telephone to ring parents after school if they require to clarify pickup arrangements.
• This negates the need for pupils to bring mobile phones into school at all.
• However, if parents still wish for their child to bring a phone for after school contact, pupils can bring it in as long as:
  • The phone is a simple non-smart phone
  • The phone is handed into the office upon arrival.
  • The phone is kept in a protective case, labelled, to avoid damage and so that they are easily distinguishable from other phones.
• Parents and pupils should understand that the school is not liable for any damage if above steps are not adhered to.
• Students are also not allowed to bring any type of device which can record audio, video or capture images.

Any unauthorised items brought to school will be confiscated for threemonths and returned after a meeting is held with parents.

Please help us to help keep your child focused by ensuring he follows all school rules.

Illness and Accidents

If you feel unwell or have an accident you must tell a teacher straight away. Normally you will be sent to the School Office where a trained first aider will take care of you. If you are too ill to remain at school or if hospital treatment is necessary, then your parents will be contacted to make suitable arrangements.

Under no circumstances should you leave the school or go home without permission.

Medicines

If you need to take medicine at school parents will need to fill our online Medical Consent Form.

Your medicine must be left with the school office. The only exception is if you have an inhaler for asthma. Those with severe asthma should keep a spare labelled asthma pump in the office.

Student Council

A group of students will be given the responsibility of forming the Student Council. These students will be expected to carry out certain duties on behalf of the school and fellow students.

The Student Council will take on board any worries, concerns or suggestions that students may have. They will in turn forward this information to the school management.

Homework

Children will be given homework and expected to return it on time completed. In order to assist in the children’s academic education, parental contribution is essential.

Parental Support

• Students’ planners will be checked and signed by parents at least once a week. Parents are expected to support the school by ensuring all homework is monitored by parents/carers at home and returned on time.
• Parents should ensure there is a quiet supervised environment at home for pupils to complete their homework.
• It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure their child is punctual in arriving at the school (8:05am). Pupils who arrive late will be given detention after school.
• Students in Years 10 and 11 may be required to attend school on a Saturday morning for GCSE booster lesson. This is a separate compulsory provision for all students in these year groups to help them improve their skills in preparation for GCSE examinations. There will be a separate charge to this service as this will be delivered outside of school hours. Details will be provided in due course.
