Assalamu Alaikum Everyone,
I hope this message finds you well today.
Reflecting on the past two years as Principal of Iqra School, I am filled with immense gratitude for how warm, welcoming, and dedicated this community continues to be. Since joining in Term Three two years ago, following a wonderful transition alongside Dr. Stephen Kendall-Jones, it has been an absolute privilege to lead and grow alongside our incredible students, hard-working teachers, specialized staff, and supportive Board of Trustees.
Drawing on my two decades of experience in educational leadership—including my time at ACG Sunderland School and St. Cuthbert’s College—my passion for primary education, commitment to inclusivity, and dedication to raising student progress remain at the heart of everything I do. Over these past two years, it has been immensely rewarding to see our shared values in action and to watch our students thrive within the unique special character that makes Iqra School so extraordinary.
Thank you to all our parents, caregivers, and community members for your ongoing support, engagement, and collaboration. Together, we continue to cultivate a nurturing, respectful, and enriching environment where every student can succeed.
As always, my door is open—please feel free to pop in and say hello when you are next at the school!
Kind regards,
Leanne Chartrand

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 different ethnicities all bound by the message of Islam. We are excited to celebrate this through our upcoming Culture Day, scheduled for Wednesday 28th October 2026
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
Iqra School
