At Madrasah NIC, we strive to provide fundamental Islamic Education, both theoretical and practical, to our children with a special focus on both Ta'leem (Islamic Education) and Tarbiyyah (Islamic Nurturing). For this, we require commitment and mutual communication between the child, parent and teacher.

• Teaching the basic and necessary Islamic injunctions Eg. Wudhu, Salah etc.
• Introducing the Sirah (life of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and other Messengers of Allah Ta'ala.
• Teaching Adab (manners) and Akhlaq (conduct) in line with Islamic etiquette and beliefs.

The minimum age for admission at Madrasah NIC is 5 years. Any children under 5 will be put on a waiting list for the next academic year.
All students shall be assessed upon admission and at regular periods during their education.
You must inform the Madrasah during the initial admission process of any Learning difficulties your child may have such as (ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADP).
New student enrolments are contingent upon a 2-month trial period. During this time, should any challenges arise, we will promptly communicate with parents and take necessary actions accordingly.
Once your child's admission is successfully completed, parents will be added to the specific Madrasah WhatsApp group for their child's year. Please regularly check the group for updates on important news and upcoming events related to your child's class.

It is of utmost importance that your child attends Madrasah every day.
At NIC Madrasah, classes are taught as a whole (i.e. all children learn and progress forward at the same time). Children are not taught individually, nor taught in separate groups. This creates a healthy learning environment as each child will be progressing on the same learning level.
Attending every day will ensure your child does not fall behind in any subject which could make your child struggle going forward.
Behaviour and Learning
Any student whose continued presence at the Madrasah is deemed to be harmful to other students will be expelled from the Madrasah and in any such case, the decision of the Madrasah/executive committee will be final.
In the event of any dispute/disagreement that cannot be resolved will be passed onto the Madrasah/executive committee. An appointment with the head teacher is needed.

Restrictions in The Madrasah:
Possession of any dangerous items such as pen knives, knives, cigarettes, matches and cigarette lighters is strictly prohibited in the Madrasah.

Food & Water:
During class, students are prohibited from bringing outside food and are expected to comply with specific food restrictions. The rules also include limiting food consumption to scheduled breaks, emphasizing cleanliness, adhering to Islamic dietary laws, requiring teacher approval before bringing food, and addressing common food allergens for the safety and well-being of other students. Additionally, students are allowed to bring water in transparent water containers. For precise instructions, it is recommended to consult with the Madrasah administration.

It is therefore parent's responsibility to inform the Madrasah office if your child has any food allergy.
Important: Parking Safety Measures for Madrasah Parents/Guardians
1. Parking Guidelines: Utilize designated areas to prevent road obstruction and potential chaos.
2. Time Management: Leave with ample time to avoid rushing during drop-off/pick-up, reducing the risk of accidents.
3. Driving safety: Avoid reverse driving in front of Madrasah's one-lane road.
Your strict adherence to these measures ensures the safety of our Madrasah community and also sets a positive example for the broader community. Thank you for your co-operation.
Student Absence:
In order for us to manage student absences more efficiently, if your child is due to be absent on any particular day, please report the absence and reason for absence via the NIC Madrasah mobile number on WhatsApp or by phoning 07599 530189. Failure to report an absence will result in an 'unauthorised absence' on the register and will count towards your child's overall attendance as such on the term report.
As a parent/guardian please ensure you are familiar with the above madrasah rules and regulations for us to maintain a safe, secure and fruitful madrasah environment for your children.
