Teaching
CEI are privileged to run supplementary classes in the subjects of Mathematics, English and Islamic Studies for all children between the ages of 7 16 years.

Classroom
CEI runs three terms a year starting and ending at Ramadhan, where each term consists of approximately 12 weeks. In each term, CEI holds a mid term activity session, an end of term examination and a final parents consultation session where parents have the opportunity to review test results and speak with the individual teachers to discuss the progress of their child and enrol their children into the following term. The classes are divided into children of similar age and or academic ability where each class consists of a maximum of 20 children. Many sessions are smaller in number which allows the children to benefit from close contact tutoring. Each lesson is divided into 35 minute sessions for each of the three subjects, Mathematics, English and Islamic Studies.

Workshop
Apart from traditional classroom based learning, CEI has recently introduced monthly workshop sessions. These are project driven and aim to up skill students in their ability to work with others as part of a team, present ideas verbally, through written articles and digital media.

Exams and Parents Consultation

CEI believe it is vital that all students attend the end of term examinations. This allows parents to review the material taught during the term, encourages students to prepare and familiarize themselves with taking exams, with the aim of improving their exam technique from an early age as well as conditioning all students to regularly attend, revise and present the material learnt during the course of the term.

The Parents Consultation session is mandatory for all parents to attend with their children and provides a forum for open discussion with students. CEI provides a register of student attendance as well updating parents with all CEI programs, future events and term details. Registration for the following term is also conducted at these, allowing any new prospective parents to join the consultation session to review the CEI Saturday Supplementary Classes and meet with the CEI teachers.

Islamic Conduct
At the heart of the CEI Supplementary Classes is providing knowledge in an appropriate Islamic environment and conduct. All students are encouraged to come to class in ablution (wudu) and are taught Islamic Studies. As many students receive Quran and Tajweed lessons as part of their extra curricular studies, CEI focuses on providing teachings on Islamic history (Seerah), basic Islamic principals and traditional texts that have been taught during the CEI adult classes.

Activity Week
Each term consists of a mid term activity week, where CEI aims to vary the activity for students. In the past we have conducted rounders, football and various other tournaments on Hazelwick School field during the summer months. In the winter months, we have organised general knowledge quizzes, Hollywood ten pin bowling tournaments as well as hosting Islamic DVD cinema day! Activity week is important as it allows the students of different ages to interact with each other outside the classroom environment. In our most recent term, CEI hosted introduction to Archery followed by an Archery tournament with the support of a qualified group of specialists, providing personal and professional archery training to people of all ages and abilities. We also visited the IMAX cinema in London to watch Journey to Mecca by Ibn Battuta in our second term.

Subjects
CEI are privileged to run supplementary classes in the subjects of Mathematics, English and Islamic Studies.

Mathematics
The teachers use learning study aids to supplement the curriculum taught. We follow the materials as advised in key stage books covering the basic fundamentals such as addition, fractions and telling the time with the younger groups. For the two older groups we cover year 9 and 10 material such as basic algebra, numbers and sequences, percentages, shapes, areas and volumes which leads to the GCSE level involving further algebra, statistics, graphs and equations.

English
We aim to realise the potential of our students in the use of the English language. A vast array of material is available and can be drawn upon to illustrate the means by which the reader is informed, persuaded and generally uplifted by messages contained in the text used in the lessons. The two fundamental elements are reading and writing. We encourage students to form a habit of daily reading. We also seek to build a students ability to write coherently in developing an argument involving all the points to be made. These techniques include use of counter argument, gaining attention through selective and appropriate use of a question within an answer and the power of the negative. Students are also encouraged to build up their own vast bank of information by paying attention to their own lives and surroundings and by comparing the knowledge gained from their reading to that of their own experience.

Islamic Studies
Islamic studies is comprised of the Seerah, stories of the Prophets, basic Islamic principals and various traditional texts. Students are taught the stories and principals with the aim of understanding the morals and principals behind these and to incorporate them in their lives. Currently the oldest group are studying The Book of Numbers by Imam Bahraq which was a course completed in the Friday adult classes. Students are taught to analyse Quran and Prophetic statements and present material covered in the form of essays. This benefits not only their Islamic knowledge, but provides the necessary skills to tackle essaybased subjects they will encounter at GCSE level. CEI is currently devising an optional one-year Arabic language module for interested students. This module will aim to provide students with an introductory understanding of Quranic Arabic, focusing on selected Suras from the thirtieth chapter.

I enjoy studying Islamic studies at the classes because its not something we get to do in school...I also love the quizzes and sports days

Teachers
It is at the heart of CEI that all teachers providing tuition are heavily involved in attending the CEI adult programs and continue to increase in their knowledge and spiritual growth by attending and supporting the CEI classes. We ensure all teachers are deemed proficient in teaching their subject and as is Islamic tradition, they teach only those texts and subjects which they have previously studied under a teacher. The core teacher group work on a voluntary basis without charging for their time. The cost of the CEI Saturday Supplementary Classes ensures a minimum contribution can be made towards the venue hire, material and other adult classes. The CEI teachers are committed to CEI and contribute a fix amount in donations on a monthly basis to facilitate not only the Saturday Supplementary Classes but all other CEI programs.

Horizons
CEI are keen to promote project based learning with students and have therefore piloted two workshops to run during Term 3 (Ramadhan 2009 2010) with the help of Horizons, a specialist partner group from the University of Oxford. They work with children to encourage academic growth through interactive workshops.

Aims & Objectives

Horizons is a charity founded by a group of past and current Oxford students; who aim to celebrate and utilise the abundance of skills and qualifications of the current generation of students within the UK, with a view to engaging and inspiring the next. Their vision is to deliver a series of educational and extracurricular to young children with a vehicle by which they can raise their aspirations and turn their ambitions into reality. Horizons operates with the ethos of providing a high quality, specialised service to small audiences. Much of their work involves close mentoring between their volunteers and the students they work with, although they understand there is also much work to be undertaken with the local community and, in particular, engaging parents. The organisation has undertaken and completed several projects at various schools, ranging from UCAS workshops to Mathematics Masterclasses, and has received excellent feedback, both on the competency of its volunteers, as well as the highly engaging and accessible content delivered.

Horizons Team
Horizons has, at its core, a dedicated group of individuals from a diverse background. A brief description of the main co-organisers of the project is given below.

Over the past few years, CEI has been running a number of Outreach programs and has taught courses in Birmingham, Oxford University, SOAS University as well as separate courses in central London (not affiliated with a university). Each course is completed with a khatum (closing of the book) which marks the end of the course. It is tradition that CEI try and provide light refreshments throughout our courses and facilitate the adult courses for free. CEI celebrate the khutum by inviting prominent speakers and members, distribute food as well as publishing the material taught during the course.
