Amãnah Home Education Support
Since 1991 Amãnah Studio's Home education support program has through the Grace of Allah Ta’ala assisted parents with the education needs of students who wish to study at home before enrolling at a Darul Uloom. We also have experience of teaching Darul Uloom students up to GCSE Examination Level.
We broadly follow the National Curriculum Subjects: English, Maths, ICT, History, Geography, General Science, Media Studies, Religious Education, Citizenship, PE and Art & Craft.
We will insha’Allah assist parents of students attending Darul Uloom Al-Amãnah in their responsibility of home educating their child by providing guidance, tuition, study material and a report upon attendance and achievements attained when dealing with any local authority inquiries. Such independent third-party reports from experienced tutors are widely accepted by Local Authorities. We also guide in the preparation and sitting of GCSE Exams, which at present need to be taken at an external venue.
Amãnah Studio Home Education Support Scheme
Students learn by attending the Darul Uloom in small groups and by having work set to be revised in the pure environment of the home under the watchful and merciful gaze of parents.
The emphasis is upon self-discipline, dedication, supervised self-study, good behaviour and academic achievement in the company of qualified scholars. We are of the humble opinion, a Muslim may only truly excel in even worldly fields and be a positive asset to his parents, family and the wider society if he/she excels in Sunnah behaviour. He/she must be the repository of good character and habits; otherwise no matter how highly qualified and educated he/she will not be able to serve humanity.
Legal Position
In England and Wales parents have the primary responsibility for ensuring their children receive efficient full-time education suitable:
- To his age, ability and aptitude,
- and to any special educational needs he may have, either by regular attendance at school or otherwise
Although this responsibility is usually delegated to schools some parents choose to exercise it directly by providing an education based at home.
Parents of children who have been registered at a school and who begin home education need to inform the school that they are providing education otherwise than at school so that the child’s name can be removed from the register.
Parents do not need to ask permission from the local authority to begin home education and although they are under no obligation to inform the local authority of their intention, we feel it is best to do so.
