Principal's Welcome


Dear Parents and Guardians,

Assalamu Alaikum Everyone.

I hope this message finds you well today. I am delighted to be appointed the new Principal of Iqra School starting Term Three. I have already been so welcomed to the school by wonderful staff and students who have gone out of their way to make sure I am well supported here at Iqra School. I have taught over two decades in a number of roles in educational leadership, including ACG Sunderland School and St. Cuthbert’s College. I have a passion for primary education, a commitment to inclusivity and a dedication to fostering a collaborative learning environment. I have gained invaluable experience raising students’ progress and improving outcomes for students. My values align seamlessly with the mission of Iqra School and I am eager to begin work alongside specialised staff, hard working teachers and wonderful students. The Board of Trustees have enabled me to have a wonderful transition with Dr. Stephen Kendall-Jones, and I am grateful for the smooth handover that has transpired.

It is a privilege and humbling to become part of the Iqra School community amongst the special character that only Iqra School can bring. Thank you so much for all the support already shown me. I am excited to start a new chapter here at Iqra School. Your engagement and cooperation are invaluable to me as we continue to cultivate a nurturing, respectful and enriching environment for all our students. Please pop in and say hello when you are next at Iqra School!

Kind regards,

Leanne Chartrand

Iqra School – Culture Day Notice


"O mankind! We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another."
– Surah Al-Hujurat, 49:13
Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

At Iqra School, we value the beautiful diversity within our school community. We are an Iqra family of many ethnicities all bound by the message of Islam. We are excited to celebrate this through our upcoming Culture Day, scheduled for today Thursday 16 October.

On the day, students are encouraged to:

Wear traditional clothes that represent their cultural background.
Bring a plate of food from their culture to share with their classmates. (Please ensure food is clearly labelled if it contains common allergens.)
Join in cultural games and activities planned by the teachers.
Participate in a cultural parade, where students will have the opportunity to present and celebrate their cultural clothing with the school community.
Culture Day is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about one another’s heritage, show pride in their identity, and celebrate the diversity that enriches us all.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to a joyful and educational day, inshaAllah!

Kind regards
