Teaching

CEI are privileged to run supplementary classes in the subjects of Mathematics, English and

Islamic Studies for all children between the ages of 7 16 years.

Classroom

CEI runs three terms a year starting and ending at Ramadhan, where each term consists of approximately 12 weeks.

In each term, CEI holds a mid term activity session, an end o term examination and a fnal parents consultationsession where parents have the opportunity to review test results and speak with the individual teachers to discuss the

progress of their child and enrol their children into the following term.

The classes are divided into children of similar age and or academic ability where each class consists of a maximum

o 20 children. Many sessions are smaller in number which allows the children to beneft rom close contact tutoring.

Each lesson is divided into 35 minute sessions for each of the three subjects, Mathematics, English and Islamic Studies.

Workshop

Apart from traditional classroom based learning, CEI has recently introduced monthly workshop sessions. These are

project driven and aim to up skill students in their ability to work with others as part of a team, present ideas verbally,

through written articles and digital media.

Exams and Parents Consultation

CEI believe it is vital that all students attend the end of term examinations. This allows parents to review the material

taught during the term, encourages students to prepare and familiarize themselves with taking exams, with the aim of

improving their exam technique from an early age as well as conditioning all students to regularly attend, revise and

present the material learnt during the course of the term.

7/28

The Parents Consultation session is mandatory or all parents to attend with their children and provides a orum or

open discussion with students. CEI provides a register of student attendance as well updating parents with all CEI

programs, future events and term details. Registration for the following term is also conducted at these, allowing any

new prospective parents to join the consultation session to review the CEI Saturday Supplementary Classes and meet

with the CEI teachers.

Islamic Conduct

At the heart of the CEI Supplementary Classes is providing knowledge in an appropriate Islamic environment and

conduct. All students are encouraged to come to class in ablution (wudu) and are taught Islamic Studies. As many

students receive Quran and Tajweed lessons as part o their extra curricular studies, CEI ocuses on providing

teachings on Islamic history (Seerah), basic Islamic principals and traditional texts that have been taught during the

CEI adult classes.

Activity WeekEach term consists of a mid term activity week, where CEI aims to vary the activity for students. In the past we have

conducted rounders, ootball and various other tournaments on Hazelwick School feld during the summer months. In

the winter months, we have organised general knowledge quizzes, Hollywood ten pin bowling tournaments as well as

hosting Islamic DVD cinema day! Activity week is important as it allows the students of different ages to interact with

each other outside the classroom environment. In our most recent term, CEI hosted introduction to Archery followed

by an Archery tournament with the support o a qualifed group o specialists, providing personal and proessional

archery training to people of all ages and abilities. We also visited the IMAX cinema in London to watch Journey toMecca by Ibn Battuta in our second term.


8/28

Subjects

CEI are privileged to run supplementary classes in the subjects of Mathematics, English and

Islamic Studies.

Mathematics

The teachers use learning study aids to supplement the curriculum taught. We follow the materials as advised in

key stage books covering the basic fundamentals such as addition, fractions and telling the time with the youngergroups. For the two older groups we cover year 9 and 10 material such as basic algebra, numbers and sequences,

percentages, shapes, areas and volumes which leads to the GCSE level involving further algebra, statistics, graphs and

equations.

English

We aim to realise the potential of our students in the use of the English language. A vast array of material is availableand can be drawn upon to illustrate the means by which the reader is informed, persuaded and generally uplifted

by messages contained in the text used in the lessons. The two fundamental elements are reading and writing. We

encourage students to orm a habit o daily reading. We also seek to build a students ability to write coherently in

developing an argument involving all the points to be made. These techniques include use of counter argument, gaining

attention through selective and appropriate use o a question within an answer and the power o the negative.

Students are also encouraged to build up their own vast bank of information by paying attention to their own lives and

surroundings and by comparing the knowledge gained from their reading to that of their own experience.

9/28

Islamic Studies

Islamic studies is comprised of the Seerah, stories of the Prophets, basic Islamic principals and various traditional texts.

Students are taught the stories and principals with the aim of understanding the morals and principals behind these

and to incorporate them in their lives.

Currently the oldest group are studying The Book of Numbers by Imam Bahraq which was a course completed in the

Friday adult classes. Students are taught to analyse Quran and Prophetic statements and present material covered inthe orm o essays. This benefts not only their Islamic knowledge, but provides the necessary skills to tackle essay-

based subjects they will encounter at GCSE level.

CEI is currently devising an optional one-year Arabic language module or interested students. This module will aim to

provide students with an introductory understanding of Quranic Arabic, focusing on selected Suras from the thirtieth

chapter.

Teachers

It is at the heart of CEI that all teachers providing tuition are heavily involved in attending the CEI

adult programs and continue to increase in their knowledge and spiritual growth by attending

and supporting the CEI classes. We ensure all teachers are deemed profcient in teaching their

subject and as is Islamic tradition, they teach only those texts and subjects which they have

previously studied under a teacher.

The core teacher group work on a voluntary basis without charging for their time. The costof the CEI Saturday Supplementary Classes ensures a minimum contribution can be made

towards the venue hire, material and other adult classes. The CEI teachers are committed to CEI

and contribute a fx amount in donations on a monthly basis to acilitate not only the Saturday

Supplementary Classes but all other CEI programs.

Horizons

CEI are keen to promote project based learning with students and have therefore piloted two

workshops to run during Term 3 (Ramadhan 2009 2010) with the help of Horizons, a specialist

partner group from the University of Oxford. They work with children to encourage academic

growth through interactive workshops.

Aims & Objectives

Horizons is a charity founded by a group of past and current Oxford students; who aim to celebrate and utilise the

abundance o skills and qualifcations o the current generation o students within the UK, with a view to engaging and

inspiring the next. Their vision is to deliver a series of educational and extracurricular to young children with a vehicle

by which they can raise their aspirations and turn their ambitions into reality.

Horizons operates with the ethos of providing a high quality, specialised service to small audiences. Much of their work

involves close mentoring between their volunteers and the students they work with, although they understand there is

also much work to be undertaken with the local community and, in particular, engaging parents.

The organisation has undertaken and completed several projects at various schools, ranging from UCAS workshops to

Mathematics Masterclasses, and has received excellent feedback, both on the competency of its volunteers, as well

as the highly engaging and accessible content delivered.

Horizons Team

Horizons has, at its core, a dedicated group of individuals from a diverse background. A brief description of the main

co-organisers o the project is given below.
