Curriculumn and Assessments
Infant School Curriculum and Assessments
Tracking growth and development in a supportive environment.
At our academies we believe in the importance of building solid foundations so that students are well equipped with the skills and experiences necessary for the twenty first century and beyond. We want to ensure that our students are lifelong learners with attributes which are transferable to a range of situations and contexts.
At the heart of all that we do is a belief in strong moral values within an Islamic ethos. We believe in having respect for ourselves and each other so students will develop skills which will enable them to pro-actively contribute to society in a positive way.
We seek to develop students’ confidence, resilience and leadership skills so that they may become active and responsible citizens in a global world. Students will be encouraged to learn from mistakes and to maximise their potential. They will be encouraged to develop interests in activities beyond those in school. They will be encouraged to be creative and to develop independence so that they can become life-long learners and our future leaders.
Ta’allum Junior Schools offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced and which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage.
The Ta’allum Junior Curriculum incorporates elements of the Key Stage 2 national curriculum in its focus on core skills and depth of understanding, as well as best international practice in its global and creative approach to topics. This, alongside the Qatar national curriculum, taught through Arabic medium subjects, ensures that students retain a respect and understanding for their national and religious heritage and their native language. The Ta’allum Junior Curriculum aims to ensure that students develop great depth of understanding and competence in skills at the same time as taking account of their second language learning needs, their cultural heritage and the global perspective Ta’allum aims to inculcate in its students.
At Ta’allum Junior Schools, technology is seamlessly integrated into teaching, learning, and assessment to foster innovation, creativity, and digital confidence. The use of a variety of educational platforms and age-appropriate AI tools enhances student engagement, supports personalised learning, and provides teachers with valuable insights to inform instruction. Through interactive lessons, digital projects, and adaptive assessments, students are encouraged to think critically, collaborate effectively, and become technologically literate learners—well-prepared for the demands of a rapidly evolving world.
Children study English, Mathematics, Science, Art & Design Technology, Computing, Qatar History, Life Skills and PE alongside Arabic, Islamic Studies, Holy Quran and Makarem lessons.
The curriculum at Ta’allum Junior Schools aims to:
- Inspire children to develop a love of learning.
- Embed skills to prepare children for further learning and productive adulthood.
- Take learning beyond the classroom.
- Develop children to become reflective learners who have a sense of responsibility for their own learning and development.
- Build confidence and motivation within our children, so that they become future leaders.
- Grow children who understand the importance of perseverance, resilience and tolerance.
- Enable children to use their acquired skills and knowledge to observe, question and think.
- Learn to value others, their views, and cultures, from a global perspective.
At Al Jazeera Academy Primary School, children develop a strong sense of moral purpose in addition to a respect and understanding of all people. A rigorous, well planned curriculum, delivered by excellent staff in an ethos of care and support enables our pupils to be well rounded, empathetic young people who have a thirst for learning and respect for all around them.

Junior School Enrichment
Enhancing learning through diverse activities and real world experiences.
In addition to our daily lessons we also plan and organise a wide range of trips and visits to support children’s learning opportunities. All trips are linked to areas of the curriculum and help us to enable children to understand the context for their learning in the real world. In addition to trips we also welcome a wide range of groups and organisations to visit the school. These include events such as Science week, Maths and Engineering week, Art week, Author week and many more. We also have a Gifted and Talented program in which specially selected pupils have the opportunity to develop their skills with enrichment activities. There are also a wide range of Arabic language events which include Quran recital, singing and poetry competitions.
In addition to a wide range of after school clubs and societies we also have a very successful debate team who have taken part in local, regional and international competitions.

Junior School Student Council
Encouraging student leadership and community engagement.
Al Jazeera Primary School considers it important that the pupils should play an active, positive role in the life of their school and believes that our Student Council helps to achieve this. The role of the Student Council is to:
Provide an opportunity for pupils to voice their opinions and offer suggestions in relation to many aspects of school life.
Discuss issues relevant to our school and encourage and promote initiatives from the pupils.
Offer an opportunity for all pupils to voice their opinions on proposed changes and thereby play a very significant role in improving our school.
Act as a channel of communication within the school organisation, between pupils and between home and school.
Contribute to any special projects such as Food tasting, Special Presentations, Assemblies, and Staff Farewells.
