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

Year 4 Shared Lunch & Farewell
30 Apr 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Assalamu alaikum,

Tomorrow will be my final day at school before I begin my maternity leave. To celebrate our time together and mark this special farewell, the Year 4 class will be having a shared lunch on Friday, 1 May.

At Iqra School, we encourage healthy eating habits. We kindly ask that you avoid sending junk food with your child. This includes items such as fizzy drinks, lollies, chocolate, popcorn, chips, packaged cupcakes, and donuts.

Instead, you may like to send options such as mini pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, fruit skewers, vegetable platters, homemade baked goods (with reduced sugar), samosas, pasta, rice dishes, or other cultural foods.

Please also inform me via email if your child has any allergies.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to a lovely shared lunch with the students.

Warm regards,

Mrs Sajdah.N
