This week, Year 7 are focusing on resilience-the ability to keep trying even when something feels challenging. Whether it’s adjusting to new routines, tackling a tricky subject, or finding your way around Secondary, every step forward builds strength. Keep practising perseverance and don’t be afraid to learn from mistakes.

Unit: الطعام الصحي – Healthy Food

What has been studied:
Learners have been practicing how to introduce family members and reviewing the Arabic alphabet through simple examples. They also started building confidence in using both Arabic and English in short oral and written tasks.

What will be studied next week:
Learners will explore the importance of making healthy food choices and the difference between healthy and unhealthy food. They will create a daily meal list (breakfast – lunch – dinner) and classify food items under Healthy Food or Unhealthy Food. In addition, learners will practice writing and spelling the names of common food items in both Arabic and English. Short classroom discussions will encourage students to express their personal preferences about food and healthy habits.

Congratulations to everyone!

Our Secondary Curriculum Road Maps are now available to view. These provide a clear outline of what each year group will be covering across subjects, helping learners and parents see the journey of learning through the year.

Please see attached the Home Learning Schedule for Key Stage 3. To encourage effective time management, learners will always have a week to complete any assigned task, and tasks will only be assigned on the specified days below. Additionally, no more than two subject activities will be scheduled on any given day.

All Home Learning Tasks & Assessments will be set on Google Classroom and include a due date, giving learners at least 7 days of preparation time.  Topic lists and revision material will also be included for all assessments. 

We are delighted to inform parents that the rescheduled commendation evening that was cancelled at the end of last academic year has been rescheduled for Wednesday 15th October. This event is a celebration of the academic achievements of our learners from the academic year 2024/25. (current Y8/9/10/11). More details will follow but please keep this date in your diaries for what will be a wonderful evening celebrating our learners successes.

We kindly remind all parents that learners must attend school each day in their formal Nadeen uniform. On PE days, learners should bring their full PE kit with them and change into it before their lesson, and then back into their school uniform afterwards.

This approach helps maintain high standards of presentation throughout the school day, ensures consistency across the Secondary phase, and reinforces the importance of learners taking responsibility for their appearance and belongings.

We aim to maintain a professional learning environment, so hair should be neat and appropriate for school. For health and safety, hair must be tied back for practical subjects-PE, Food & Nutrition, Art, Science experiments, and similar activities. Please ensure learners bring a hair tie each day. Thank you for your support.

All learners should exit via the staircase leading directly to the Learner Entrance for pick-up. Bus riders may walk down the Secondary corridor and use the stairs by the Main Office. To reduce congestion in Primary corridors, especially during after-school club pick-ups, please avoid using Primary routes. This routine has been clearly communicated to learners and will continue to be reinforced. Thank you for your patience and support.

We are pleased to inform you that a dedicated email address has now been created for reporting learner absences. Please use attendance@nadeenschool.com to notify the school if your child will be absent on the day. All of the absence correspondence should as always go through the form tutor. This will help us ensure accurate attendance records and streamline communication. Thank you for your cooperation.

We would like to invite all parents to our first Meet the Principal session on Tuesday, the 30th of September at 8:15am in the Performance Theatre. 

Please take a moment to complete our survey to help choose topics for the monthly Meet the Principal sessions. Click here to submit your feedback and your presence.

Dear Parents,

As part of our regular health and safety procedures and our ongoing commitment to maintaining accurate records, we will be sending a test SMS to all parents this Sunday at 10:00 AM.

This is a routine check to ensure our contact information is up to date and that we can reach all families promptly in the event of an emergency or important communication.

No action is required unless you do not receive the SMS. If that is the case, please contact us at Admissions@nadeenschool.com to update your details.

NOTE: SMSs will be sent to local numbers only; if you do not have one, please arrange to obtain a local number as we require 2 local contact numbers for each learner and a local emergency number different from the parents' numbers (This will be used in case of emergency only -not included in SMSs)

 Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
