National Curriculum – Al Mumin Primary and Secondary School

As education providers, at Al Mumin, we endeavour to provide our pupils with as many opportunities to experience and equip themselves with the seven areas of learning and essentials for any well considered curriculum: linguistic, mathematical, scientific, human & social skills, aesthetic, technological and physical education.

We believe, through the provision of two curricula within the school; namely the National Curriculum and the Islamic Sciences Curriculum our pupils enjoy increased opportunity to embrace the learning areas. (For example, pupils at Al Mumin Secondary obtain linguistic skills through: English Literature and Language from the subjects offered through the National Curriculum but also further their linguistic competence through other Islamic Sciences. In short, pupils at Al Mumin Secondary obtain linguistic competence through participating in at least 6 different subjects. Similar curriculum links can be made for each of the remaining six areas of learning.)

We aim to connect the curricula as much as possible within the school, such that the teaching of the National Curriculum is not divorced from Islamic concepts; rather it is enhanced by introducing Islamic concepts. The Islamic Curriculum is also enhanced by implementing strands of the National Curriculum.

All students are taught 23 lessons a week, each lesson lasting 45/60 minutes. The students also attend a tutorial lesson and take part in collective daily acts of worship. The lessons will include the following subjects:-

Mathematics (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
English Language (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
English Literature (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
Combined Science (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
Religious Education (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
Islamic Studies (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
Citizenship (KS3/KS4-GCSE)
Physical Education (KS3)
Art/DT (KS3)
PSHE (KS3)
Humanities (KS3)

At Key Stage 4 (GCSE) all students study the core subjects plus a range of supplementary subjects. All students will participate in undertaking work experience placements, which will be arranged in the tutorial sessions with the form tutors. All placements will be confirmed and approved by the SLT.
To develop the physical well-being of the students Al Mumin offer physical education in a well-equipped secure area in which students participate in a wide range of sporting activities.
