INTRODUCTION

1. BIN OMEIR EDUCATION FOUNDATION (BOEF)

BOEF’S VISION

BOEF’s vision is to contribute to the development of human capital in Abu Dhabi by providing the community with high quality education resulting in the individual achievement of significant learning outcomes by as many national and expatriate residents of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi as we can serve.

BOEF is committed to

Giving our learners an education that is meaningful and relevant to their personal, academic, social and/or work-life.

Setting up new high quality learning-centered educational institutions that realize BOEF’s vision.

Enabling BOEF’s vision to unify and lead all our educational institutions in their continuous efforts to provide quality education.

Populating our educational institutions with teachers/facilitators, senior managers and leaders who are trained to provide standards-based instruction leading to significant learning outcomes.

Giving authority to the professionals we hire, yet holding them accountable to a clear set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that will guide them and ensure the provision of quality performance at all times.

Providing our learners with the highest standards of personal physical safety, health and personal well-being.

BOEF’S MISSION

To set up new learning-centered educational institutions (day-care centres, K-12 schools, higher education institutions and management consultancy training offices) that will share the BOEF vision and implement it against key performance indicators at institutional, program and individual levels.

To make certain each institution provides learners with life and academic skills appropriate to their subsequent formal educational phase in their effort to learn and earn the best academic qualifications and personal, interpersonal and professional qualities for life.

T0 upgrade existing educational institutions with the view to transform them into high-quality learning-centered establishments.

To partner with well-established educational institutions, business organizations, government and non-government organizations and other community entities that will effectively contribute to carrying out our mission.

BOEF will strive to ensure that we

Provide our learners with an active learning teaching experience, avoiding rote or passive learning.

Use means of assessment that are educative in nature (Assessment for Learning), qualitative and quantitative, standardized, frequent, performance–based (using shared criterion and standards) and involving self-assessment.

Align our teaching activities and assessment activities to Significant Learning Outcomes by a process referred to as backward design.

Continuously assess and collect data to improve our performance at the teaching/training levels, course levels and at the wider institutional level. Our organizational culture will be data-driven – ‘self-study against set targets’. Institutional action planning and assessment will be guided by our findings and targets.

W PARENTS HANDBOOK

Use technology to enhance learning and to not just facilitate teaching (learning-driven technology)

Provide continuous professional development for teachers, facilitators and staff.

2. AJYAL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

AJYAL International School opened its doors for the first time in September 2014. This is the flagship school of

the Bin Omeir Education Foundation, the first in a series of high quality learning establishments to be set up

by the Foundation across different countries, with different age groups and different curricula. However, at

its core, BOEF will hold true to the binding principles of its vision statement across all its institutions.

AJYAL International School's new building is impressive, with an eye-catching and architecturally distinctive

elliptical outline. Inside, is an Aladdin's cave of bright, modern and well-equipped classrooms with break-out

In order to ensure a positive experience for all members of the AJYAL School community, courtesy, respect and self-discipline are encouraged at all times. It is important that all students remember the ‘three Rs': Respect for themselves Respect for others Responsibility for their actions Treating others as you expect to be treated. A detailed Behaviour Policy, which outlines our system of rewards and sanctions, can be found on the school website and will be sent to parents enlisting their support. 6.

These include:

Annual Awards Ceremony

Celebration Assemblies

Award Certificates

House Points

Other awards

Communications to parents 7. HOUSE SYSTEM Placing students in Houses is designed to promote a sense of belonging within the school community and healthy competition in a variety of individual and collective activities. All students will be placed in one of four Houses, with siblings placed in the same House where possible. Members of staff will also be placed in Houses. House Captains are elected by students. The Houses are named after the four colours of the UAE flag

Pearl - Black

Emerald - Green

Ruby - Red

Diamond - White

W PARENTS HANDBOOK

House points are awarded throughout the year for personal effort and achievement in academic work and positive contributions to the AJYAL community. House points are continuously totalled and the leading House announced at the end of each week and term. At the end of the academic year, the winning House will be declared the House Champions and receive a special trophy.

8. LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Students will have opportunities to become young leaders by taking on a wide range of responsibilities, including the following roles:

Head Boy and Head Girl

School Prefect

School Council Representative

House Captain

Sports Captain

Library Monitor

Duty Monitor

Bus Monitor We encourage students of all ages to share their ideas and to make positive contributions to the school’s development. DAILY ROUTINE 9. Pick-Up & Drop-Off Entrances:

FS1&FS2 students enter and exit through the KG Entrance at the front of the school

Years 1-11 enter and exit through the Rear Entrance.

Years with FS siblings enter through the KG Entrance.

The Main Entrance is only used by students who are late arriving or late departing from school. 10. SCHOOL DAY Students may arrive at school from 7.30am. The school day starts for all students at 8.00am with the National Anthem, registration, then followed by lessons. For FS1 and 2, and Year 1 students, the school day ends at 1.10pm. The primary and secondary school ends at 2.50pm with school buses leaving by 3pm. Students who use school transport, and those waiting for siblings in Year 2 and above can remain until School buses leave at 3.00pm. Students have two breaks during the school day. Breaks for FS1, FS2 and Year 1 students are staggered throughout the day. 11. NATIONAL ANTHEM At 8.00 am each morning, the UAE National Anthem will be played across the campus. All persons on campus are kindly requested to stop what they are doing and stand still until the Anthem has finished.

W PARENTS HANDBOOK

12. LATE ARRIVALS Students must report and register at the Main Reception if they arrive at school after the student entrances are locked from 8.00am. A Late Pass must be collected from the Reception and handed to the class teacher. We understand that circumstances beyond your control may result in occasional lateness, but we trust that this will happen very rarely. Punctuality is a sign of respect to others in the school community, and is very important. Because of this, repeated late arrival at school and/or at lessons will be followed up in line with our Behaviour Management Policy, which can be found on our website. 13. BUSES The FAST bus service provides transportation at the beginning and end of the school day. It will operate a near-to-door service. Buses are equipped and maintained to the highest standards. Each bus is allocated a Bus Supervisor to oversee the students. The Bus Supervisor has access to a mobile phone to contact the school and/or transport company if necessary. Please note that we expect all students to show respect for the Bus Supervisor and Driver and to comply with safety regulations on school transport. Students who fail to follow the rules create a risk to all passengers and may not be permitted to use school transport. Further details and queries about the bus service are available from the Student Services Officer. 14. ATTENDANCE Taking students out of school during the academic year can be significantly damaging to students' learning and is actively discouraged. Please note that appointments for routine dental or medical appointments should be made out of school time. If appointments with specialist consultants during the school day are unavoidable, please let us know as soon as the appointment is made. Please bring a copy of the appointment card so that we can record this as an authorised absence. Students arriving late or leaving early for routine medical appointments or for non-emergency family reasons will be recorded as absent without authorisation for half a day. If you do need to take your child out of school for one or more days for an unavoidable reason, please complete the form at the end of this handbook and send it to the Key Stage Leaders as early as possible. Written authorisation must be given by the Key Stage Leaders before the absence. Without this authorisation, your child's absence will be recorded as unauthorised. Students who have over 20 days of unauthorized absence must repeat the year as per ADEC guidelines. Further detail is available in the Attendance Policy, which can be found on our website. 15. BREAK AND LUNCH TIME

Students may choose to spend their free time at break and lunch in designated areas inside or outside the school building. All areas will be supervised.

17. The Significant Learning Model and the Student Competency Framework The Significant Learning Model underpins Ajyal schools approach to designing students’ learning experiences and works in tandem with our delivery of the English National Curriculum. The six areas of Significant Learning complement each other and the ENC to create an integrated, personalised and dynamic learning experience for all students. They encapsulate and define the learning outcomes for students at AJYAL International School and are:

Foundational Knowledge - understanding and remembering information and ideas

Application - use of skills and thinking (critical, creative & practical)

Integration – connecting ideas, people and different areas of students’ lives

Human Dimensions - learning about themselves and others

Caring - developing new feelings, interests and values

Learning How To Learn - becoming a better student, more enquiring and self-directed

The ADEC Student Competency Framework is being introduced in the primary phase this year and complements aspects of the Significant Learning Model.

W PARENTS HANDBOOK

18. LEARNING CENTRED SCHOOL AJYAL International School is a learning centred institution ensuring the following

important types of learning are clearly identified

students have high-quality and varied learning experiences

high-quality educational programs are provided

high-quality teaching is delivered

high-quality training is given to those designing, delivering and managing the SLM 19. SPECIALISMS In aspiring to make the school a centre of excellence and establish its own areas of expertise in the BOEF vision, AJYAL International School will develop specialisms in

Engineering and Technology

Medicine and Health Professions

The Arab Gulf and Globalisation We welcome contributions from parents who have expertise and/or experience in any of these areas. Please complete the Parent Special Skills form at the back of this handbook and contact the Deputy Principal, if you are able to offer your support. 20. HOMEWORK AND HOMEWORK DIARIES We see homework as an important part of students’ school experience. Learning at home encourages students to be proactive and independent learners and allows you to be an informed and active participant in your child’s learning. Through our website and/or the Homework Diary, teachers will provide specific details about homework assignments and about how you can best support your child. The following table outlines our general homework guidelines:

YEAR GROUP MINIMUM TIME FOCUS

KG1 10/15 mins per day Daily reading in Arabic and English

KG2 and G1 equal to 1.5 hrs per week Daily reading in Arabic and English plus literacy and number work

G2 & 3 equal to 2 hrs per week Daily reading in Arabic and English plus literacy and number work and subject specific assignments

G4 & 5 45 mins per day Weekly schedule with an emphasis on literacy and number work as well as subject specific assignments and daily reading

G6, 7, 8 & 9 3 subjects x 30 mins per day Weekly schedule including daily reading, research, practice, preparation, discussion, and consolidation

Students in Year 3 upwards use their Planners to record specific homework assignments. Teachers may also write notes for your child, or for you. Please check and sign the planner every day. We encourage you to

W PARENTS HANDBOOK

write your own notes/messages for individual teachers to ensure effective and timely communication of any questions or concerns you may have. Teachers will sign messages in the Diary to acknowledge receipt. 21. HOME-SCHOOL COMMUNICATION Good communication between home and school is of the utmost importance. There is a clear chain of communication which we ask you to follow so that we can respond quickly to your questions and concerns. First, please raise any issue with your child's class teacher/form tutor. Because teachers spend most of their time in the classroom, we ask you to make an appointment in advance and after-school, by writing in the student planner or by emailing the teacher directly. Email addresses for teachers are generic and comprise the teacher's first name and surname separated by a full-stop and followed by @ajyal.sch.ae, for example jamie.oliver@ajyal.sch.ae If you would like to discuss the issue further, please contact the respective Learning Manager responsible for your child's Key Stage. The Learning Manager may refer the matter to the Deputy Principal and/or Principal. Methods of home-school communication include
