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

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
RE. Term 1 Attendance Update
We've received our preliminary report from the Ministry of Education (see attached), and the results give us a huge reason to celebrate.
Our regular attendance for Term 1 was 80%!
This means that over 90% of students are coming to school 80% of the time. The official target of the Ministry of Education is 80% for 2030! Well done to Iqra School for achieving this Term 1 of 2026! The growth we have seen in attendance is incredible. In Term 1 of 2025 our school's regular attendance was 57%.
This massive improvement is a reflection of the hard work from our wonderful parents, students. I would like to tell you the school is grateful for making school a priority and ensuring your children are here ready to learn.
Another statistic shown below is our students' punctuality (being at school by 8:30am).
Only 57% of our students are arriving on time regularly.
Going forward all students need to be at school by 8:30am so they don't miss their literacy and numeracy lessons as well as important instructions for the day.
School begins again on Monday 20 April. As we head into the winter months we face new challenges with winter illnesses. Please play your part to keep punctuality a focus by prioritising sleep (children need to get to bed early so they can wake refreshed for the day). Also please remember regular hand washing to keep germs at bay.
Lets keep the momentum going and aim even higher for both punctuality and regular attendance for Term 2. See you all on Monday. Have a lovely weekend.
