Principal's Welcome

ترحيب المدير


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

Heartfelt Thanks for Your Incredible Support at the Iftar Night Fundraiser
18 Mar 2025

Dear Iqra School Community,


On behalf of everyone at Iqra School, I am delighted to share some wonderful news with you all. Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering support, we raised a remarkable $30,000 during our recent Iftar Nights fundraiser!

This substantial amount will play a pivotal role in helping us bring our proposed playground project to life. The playground will offer our children a safe, engaging, and fun space to play, learn, and grow – and it is all possible because of the kindness and commitment of our community.

We are deeply grateful for your contributions, whether through donations, time, or participation in the event. Your support makes a world of difference, and we are inspired by the sense of unity and care that defines the Iqra School community.

Once again, thank you for your generosity and for helping us take a significant step toward enriching the educational experience for our students. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this new playground will have on our children, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

With sincere appreciation,

Leanne Chartrand
Principal

Orphan charity
18 Mar 2025

Dear Iqra Family,

This is just a reminder about the orphan fundraiser that began in March.

This year, we aim to sponsor seven orphans, with each sponsorship costing $1,000. Through this initiative, we strive to teach our students how to put Islamic values into action while fostering a sense of community service and responsibility towards the Ummah.

You can send the donation with your child, and they can place it in the Sadaqa Jar, which will be kept in each classroom. Your child will also get an envelope to take home this week to collect money from family, relatives and neighbours if possible. Every penny makes a difference. Remember, it’s not the amount that matters, but the intention (niyyah)!

Please know that Wednesday 26 March is the final day for giving to this cause. Thank you for all your support with this.
