Early identification
Teachers monitor each pupil's academic, spiritual and emotional progress closely, in small class groups.
Progress is daily, recorded and taken seriously.
GIFTS tracks Qur'an memorisation and academic subjects through a daily Qur'an Diary, continuous teacher monitoring and termly written reports. Both curricula carry equal weight in the record, so families can see achievement and where extra support is needed.
Every recitation mattersAccuracy, consistency and correction
Continuous assessment — Support begins long before a report card.
Teachers work with each pupil every day. The Daily Qur'an Diary is compulsory for every pupil in Qur'anic studies, reviewed by parents and teachers as a vital communication tool tracking daily memorisation and revision.
Pupils are expected to attend Tahfeez sessions punctually, observe daily revision schedules, treat the Qur'an with reverence, and meet memorisation targets suited to their individual capacity.
“The one who has nothing of the Qur'an in their chest is like a ruined house.”Tirmidhi
Assessment is not only a test score. It includes Hifz consistency, recitation, revision behaviour, attendance, understanding across Islamic and academic subjects, and the pupil's ability to work independently.

Academic support & promotion — A clear, fair standard for every pupil.
Promotion is based on academic performance, attendance, behaviour, Qur'anic progress and teacher recommendation. No single test decides a pupil's path.

Director of StudiesAdditional practice, remedial lessons and tailored improvement plans are available where needed, so every child progresses at a pace that builds confidence.
If a child is struggling — We respond early, not at exam time.
Our small class groups allow teachers to identify difficulty early and respond with individual attention and support, in close communication with parents.

By the end of Primary Year 4, pupils are expected to have memorised the last 5 Ajza of the Qur'an (Juz 30 to Juz 26) to a certified standard, tracked throughout by the daily Qur'an Diary.
