ACADEMIC PROGRAMME - BRIEF INFORMATION
The School of Research Science was established in response to a need in this community for a school that provides a skills based education and one in which the learning experience will be challenging, exciting and enjoyable.
The School provides a happy, safe and caring learning environment in which each child's abilities are nurtured, together with the pursuit of academic excellence, in an atmosphere which encourages Islamic values.
We as a team at The School of Research Science are committed to shaping a future generation who will be creative, independent thinkers able to adapt their knowledge and skills to the ever-changing needs of this technological age.
The education of children in the widest sense takes place in and out of school and therefore the best results can only be obtained by forming a partnership with parents, children and teachers. In The School of Research Science we make this Home/School partnership a central aspect of the development of our children. We look forward to developing this close partnership with you.
Should you have any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to make them known.
The Curriculum
The School follows the English National Curriculum in most subjects. In addition a thorough and comprehensive programme is offered for Arabic Language, Islamic Studies and Islamic History. Particular emphasis is laid upon Tajweed and the Islamic programme has been developed in conjunction with Advisory Bodies on Qur'an Learning.

The structure of the National Curriculum
For each subject and for each key stage, programmes of study set out what pupils should be taught, and attainment targets set out the expected standards of pupils' performance. It is for schools to choose how they organise their school curriculum to include the programmes of study.
The National Curriculum is a framework used by schools to ensure that teaching and learning is balanced and consistent.
It sets out:
the subjects taught.
standards or attainment targets in each subject teachers can use these to measure your child's progress and plan the next steps in their learning.
how your child's progress is assessed and reported.
The National Curriculum comprises of:
Three core subjects and other foundation subjects. The core subjects are English, Mathematics and Science. The foundation subjects are ICT (Information Communication Technology), Technology (including Design), Geography, Art and Physical Education. The following chart shows the comparison of the year group descriptions with Key Stages of the National Curriculum.
