Partnership Agreement

Parental involvement in a child's education is fundamental to the holistic development of your child. It is only through a strong working relationship between the setting and home that we can enable your child to achieve their full potential. It is therefore of great importance that parents fully support and implement the Alamiyah Montessori ethos in the home. The terms provided below are derived from our ethos and contain the ingredients necessary to build a strong partnership.

To demonstrate a commitment to the vision, mission and ethos of Alamiyah Montessori.
To maintain communication with the setting about your child's health, development and learning including, any professionals working alongside your family and any assessments.
To inform the setting about any changes to information held by Alamiyah including, personal or emergency contact details, authorised collectors, your child's home address or living arrangements. All notifications must be made at least 24 hours prior to any change taking effect.
To ensure that all absences and lateness are authorised by providing advance notice in writing (via email or letter) prior to the start of the session for each instance of absence or lateness.
To maintain high levels of attendance aiming for 95% attendance, to ensure continuity in your child's learning and to build good habits for life.
To ensure that your child maintains a high punctuality rate (unless there are extenuating circumstances), since lateness disrupts the learning of your child and that of others.
To ensure that your child comes in clean and tidy according to the dress code and appropriate for the weather - see Alamiyah Montessori Dress Code.
To commit to the prompt payment of fees, in accordance with our fee payment policy.
To understand the Alamiyah Montessori ethos and how the Montessori curriculum works, accepting that each child learns best following their unique and natural path of development.
To attend parent workshops in order to understand and implement the ethos and approach used to educate your child. There will be no more than two compulsory parent workshops per academic year.
To be willing to implement recommendations from the parent workshops or as a result of observations of your child.
To work with the setting to develop the best plan for your child's home learning so that no unnecessary pressure is placed on your child which can have a negative impact on long term holistic development.
To keep up to date with your child's progress, receive important updates and contribute to their learning by informing us of your child's current learning and interests at home.
To attend and provide follow up to progress meetings, meetings regarding pupil behaviour, any meetings regarding your child, coffee mornings/afternoons and parent's evenings to keep up to date with your child's progress and learning.
To strongly encourage constructive activities, which are in line with the development of the child and engage all aspects of the child - head, heart and hands.
To actively avoid all screen time including television, DVD's and playing video games to help preserve the fitrah of your child, leaving their hearts open and receptive to the message of the Prophet (pbuh).
To provide your child with a healthy breakfast and lunch with no added sugar, thereby working with the setting to limit the impact poor diet has on behaviour, concentration and learning.
To monitor the environment and company that your child keeps and ensure that any negative interactions or incidents are fed back in order for us to support their learning.
To ensure that your child is polite, courteous and respectful to all staff and pupils.
To ensure that your child maintains the rights and boundaries of others without harm or any physical force.
To ensure that your child only uses acceptable and appropriate language at the setting, the use of racist, derogatory or obscene language is unacceptable and prohibited.
