Details of this year’s school trip should already be with you via email, but if not please click here for a copy of the letter.

We are pleased to advise that MKIS School of Islamic Studies will be open this Sunday (12.03.17) insha Allah.  The school hall remains out of bounds and so we will be operating with temporary measures for the foreseeable future until the hall is available for use again.

Please take note of the following temporary changes:-

• There will be no assemblies in the morning or afternoon.
• Doors will open at 10:00 a.m. sharp – There will be no waiting area inside so please ensure you arrive on time and drop your children at the door.
• Please do not accompany your children to their classes during this temporary period.
• No Tuckshop – Please ensure your children bring their own drinks and snacks. Breaks will be held within classrooms.
• No congregational Dhuhr prayer – due to the hall being unavailable
• School will end at 1:15 p.m. – Please arrive in time to collect your children from the school courtyard as normal.

Jazakoum’Allah khayr for your understanding and support during this temporary mode of operation.  We will communicate as soon as we are advised that the hall is available for use again.

Please note online admissions for 2016-17 are now closed.  Please contact admissions@mkis.org for further enquiries.

Assalaamu Alaikum.  Sunday 25th September will see the start of MKIS School of Islamic Studies Term 1.  Please bring your child(ren) to the school hall at Southwood School, Downley Avenue, Conniburrow, MK14 7AR for 10:00a.m.
– Returning students will line up in their classes from last year and will be taken to their new class accordingly.
– Staff will be on hand to advise new students which class(es) they have been allocated.
– If your child is new, aged 8+ and has not yet sat an assessment, then please inform a member of staff so that arrangements can be made.

Please ensure your child(ren) are equipped with pens, pencils and an exercise book.  School bags will be issued to new students.  Homework diaries and Information handbooks are in the process of being printed and will be distributed over the coming weeks insha Allah.

Assalaamu Alaikum

Please note that (weather permitting) we hope to be holding our annual school sports day tomorrow (Sunday 22nd May) during normal school hours.  Please ensure youre child(ren) come dressed appropriately to take part in sporting events.  All parents are also encouraged to stay to support their children as they participate in each event.  Note: In the event of bad weather, we will revert to a normal school day so please ensure your children bring their school bags/books just in case.

School Trip

This year’s school trip has also been planned for Saturday 4th June to Wicksteed Park in Kettering.  Please click here for details.  Payment for coach seats and rides must be made tomorrow in school as we are closed next week due to the Bank Holiday weekend.

Assalaamu Alaikum. Despite a light scattering of snow we hope to be open as usual today insha Allah.

Asslaaamu Alaikum

MKIS School of Islamic Studies is currently closed until Sunday 3rd January 2016 insha Allah where we will have normal classes and Parent Consultations for selected parents.  All students will receive their report card showing attendance, Term 1 exam results and any teacher comments.

If your child(ren) missed their tests at the end of last term, please ensure they are at school on 4th January to allow them to be taken then.

Dhuhr Prayer Time Change

Please note we will be holding our normal congregational Dhuhr prayer at midday for the next few months.  This means Arabic Studies will run through until 1:30 p.m.  Please come to school to collect your children at this time and no earlier.

Late Arrival to School

As announced during assembly last week, despite many warnings late attendance continues to be a problem.  As a result any students arriving late for the 3rd occasion since the start of Term 1 will be asked to return home.  Late attendance causes disruption to the morning assembly and first lesson so please help us by ensuring you bring your child(ren) to school by no later than 9:50 a.m.
