5. Application Process
 To apply to study at IEC, you must fill in an application form, which
can be obtained from the office.
 Once we receive your application, we will then ask you to come
along with your child to assess your child’s level. Initial assessment
will be done by a member of teaching staff.
 Based on the initial assessment we will then decide in which level
your child will be in.
 If there is place available in that particular level and session, we
will then confirm it to you.
* Please note that even though an initial assessment has taken place whether
or not your child will stay in same level will depend on their performance in
class. We may have to move a student if they are not coping although this
very rarely happens. IEC cannot guarantee a place in your preferred level &
session.

9. What Helps Children
Talking and listening
 Set aside time for talking – without being interrupted by
phones, TV, radio, computer etc! - Children find starting
school easier when they have Parents who give reassurance and
encouragement.
 Encourage your child to tell you about their day and what they
have learned at IEC. One of the best ways for you to help your
child do well at school is to take a positive interest in what
happens there. When children know their teachers and parents
are interested, they are more likely to be successful learners.
...Continued 9

10.  This will be important throughout children’s study at
IEC. Your child could attend this school for many
years. It will make a big difference if you remember
to:
1) Ensure your child attends REGULARLY and ON TIME
2) Keep attending parents’ meetings and IEC events
3) Keep checking children’s progress
4) Keep talking and listening to your child
5) Keep on being a good example
6) Inform IEC of any suggestions or concerns.
...Continued 10

11. Reading
 Your involvement with your child’s reading is
extremely important. A 10 minute session each day will
be far more productive than a longer session less
regularly. Try to pick a time when your child is not too
tired and when distractions are at a minimum – ensure
for example that the TV and mobile phones are
switched off!
 Talk about the syllabus topics
 Listen to how your children recite Surahs
...Continued 11

12. Assessment
All children are assessed throughout the school year. Pupils’
achievements are presented in progress reports given to
parents on parents’ meetings.
At the end of the year, we carry out final assessments. Levels
of attainment and the results of the exams are included at
end-of-year reports to parents. Pupils are assessed based
on:
 Reading (reading from Qaida/Quran Majeed)
 Hifz of required Surahs
 Syllabus
 Pupils’ performance throughout the whole year
 Pupils’ attendance (absences are taken into consideration)
 Pupils’ behaviour
*Your child will only be promoted to the next level if he/she is
successful in final assessment.
...Continued 12

13. Late Registrations
Procedures regarding late registration:
• Children starting mid- term will be assessed before starting class
in the normal way.
• It will be the parent’s responsibility to help the child catch up with
the rest of the class as they will inevitably have missed lessons.
• If in any case they are unable to catch up before the final exams
and are unable to pass the level they will be expected to repeat
the year as is normal for all children that do not pass.

14. Parents Code of Conduct
 Parents should keep in touch with IEC and let us know if you
change your contact details (address and / or phone number)
 For security reasons, with the exception of dropping and
collecting at normal times, all parents must report to the
office and not enter the classes without permission. (This for
the safety of your children)
 If parents are concerned or worried about anything, they will
need to make an appointment to see the class teacher, or if
necessary the Deputy Head teacher. If an incident happens at
IEC, we will deal with it and contact you if we feel this is
necessary. We offer a positive role model for children at IEC
and encourage parents to do the same.
...Continued 14

15.  It is important that children attend regularly and are punctual.
 If your child is going to be absent, please always send a short
note or inform us via telephone.
 Holidays in term time should, preferably, be avoided.
 Please be punctual. A register is taken in the first ten minutes
of each session. Any child arriving after this time is marked
late.
 Parents should drop off their child not more than 5 minutes
before the start of the session.
 Please pick up your children ON TIME at the end of the.
Session. Please let us know if your child is to be collected by
someone other than you or a regular parent/carer. We do not
let children go with someone unknown to us, nor do we allow
children to be collected by anyone under the age of 14
years.
 If you would like your child to walk home on their own, please
put this in writing to the class teacher.

16.  Special Needs: We want all children to feel valued members
of our community and believe that each child is entitled to
have full access to a broad and balanced curriculum. All IEC
staff members are always happy to cater for all the children in
their classroom. If there is any such need, you must inform us
immediately.
 Any child having difficulty with their learning will be offered
immediate support. We will work together with parents. We
believe that working in partnership with parents brings the
best results. Therefore, please let us know when children have
any special needs.
 Photo Consent: We are very proud of the achievements of
our pupils at IEC . Often these occasions can involve images of
some of the pupils participated in the event. If you would
prefer that your child does not feature in photographs, please
provide the school with a signed and dated letter clearly
stating that you do not wish your child to feature in any
publicity material.
