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

Principal

Food stall fundraiser by Room 14 
3 Aug 2026

As-salāmu ʿalaykum Whānau,

We are excited to let you know that Room 14 will be hosting a Food Stall Fundraiser on Thursday, 6 August to help raise funds towards their Year 7/8 camp later this year.

All students will receive pre order forms on Monday, 3 August. The preorder form has also been attached to this email. Kindly return the completed pre-order form with your child's name clearly written on the form, along with the correct amount of money in a clearly labelled envelope to the classroom teacher by Wednesday, 5 August. Please also write the amount of money enclosed on the pre-order form to help us process orders accurately. The food will be ready for collection during lunchtime on Thursday.

There will also be an opportunity to purchase food on the day using cash, while stocks last.

Food items may be available in limited quantities, so some items may sell out. We encourage students to bring a packed lunch, just in case their preferred choices are unavailable.

If your child has food allergies kindly ensure that they bring their own food on the food stall day due to cross contamination of foods. This is for their safety. 

We sincerely appreciate your continued support of our students and school community.

Jazākumullāhu khayran.

Prayer Mat For The Senior Students
30 Jul 2026

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh Dear Parents,


We pray that you and your families are in the best of health and Iman.

As our Year 6, 7, and 8 students have now moved into the new building, we would like to ask that each student brings a prayer mat to school.

This is a wonderful opportunity to teach our students responsibility by encouraging them to care for their own prayer mat. We ask that they keep it clean and take it home regularly to be washed when needed.

Students will be able to keep their prayer mats in their lockers, making them easily accessible for daily prayers while also encouraging them to take responsibility for their belongings.

We appreciate your support in helping us instil these important values of responsibility, cleanliness, and care for our places of worship.


Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your continued cooperation and support.
