Nadeen School proudly celebrated its 48th birthday, marking nearly five decades of learning, growth, and a strong sense of community. The occasion was commemorated in Secondary with a special assembly that brought students and staff together to reflect on the school’s rich history and shared journey.
During the assembly, learners were taken on a trip down memory lane as we explored school archives, showcasing photographs and moments from learners across the years. This reflection highlighted how Nadeen has continued to evolve while remaining rooted in its values of excellence, care, and community.
The celebration was further enriched by musical performances, adding energy and creativity to the event and showcasing the talents within our Secondary community. Staff members also shared their fondest memories of Nadeen School, offering personal insights that reminded us all of the meaningful relationships and experiences that define life at Nadeen.
As we celebrate this milestone, we honour the generations of learners, staff, and families who have contributed to making Nadeen School the vibrant and supportive community it is today. We look forward to continuing this journey together for many years to come.

Learners from our school recently took part in an exciting Spelling Bee competition, joining pupils from several other schools for a day of friendly competition and academic challenge. The event was hosted by members of Al Noor International School’s community and was organised into two categories, with separate contests for the Year 8 learners followed by Year 7 learners, allowing them to compete confidently alongside peers of the same age group, all sporting their contestant numbers around their necks.
After a rehearsal briefing, the competition began with a no-elimination practice round, giving all participants the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the format, build confidence, and settle into the competitive atmosphere without the pressure of being eliminated. This was followed by knockout rounds, where learners demonstrated focus, resilience, and strong spelling skills as they progressed through various challenging words. In these rounds only, learners were allowed to ask for the word to be repeated, a definition of the word, a clue, or the word to be used in speech.
The final stage however, was a high-energy quick-fire round, where learners were given one minute to spell as many words correctly as possible. Participants were allowed to pass on words that they found difficult to spell within the time limit, encouraging strategic thinking as well as accuracy. Winners were determined by the total number of correctly spelled words within the time limit.
At the conclusion of the event, learners and staff were congratulated and recognised for their participation, efforts and achievements, with different medals and certificates awarded. Overall, the trip was a fantastic experience that celebrated literacy, encouraged healthy competition, and allowed learners to represent the school with confidence and pride.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all learners, staff, and coaches for their incredible efforts and enthusiasm. Our learners participated in a wide variety of sports and athletics, demonstrating teamwork, determination, and school spirit. Along the way, medals were won, challenges were embraced, and most importantly, memories were created that will last well beyond the events themselves. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making these experiences so meaningful and successful.

Our Year 9 learners recently took part in an exciting iGCSE Taster Day, designed to help them explore the wide range of courses available to them as they begin planning their next steps in school.
Throughout the day, learners rotated around different subjects in smaller focus groups, giving them the opportunity to engage more personally with teachers, ask questions, and gain deeper insight into each course. From the sciences and humanities to creative and practical subjects, the day offered a valuable chance to discover what makes every iGCSE subject unique – including content, skills developed, and future opportunities linked to each pathway.
The sessions were interactive, informative, and gave learners the confidence to begin shaping their options with clarity and enthusiasm. We are proud of the maturity and curiosity they demonstrated, and we hope this experience supports meaningful conversations at home as they move toward selecting the courses that best suit their strengths and ambitions.
A big thank you to our teaching teams for delivering inspiring taster sessions, and well done to our Year 9 learners for embracing the day with such positive energy and responsibility.
The future starts with informed choices – and Year 9 are officially on the journey.
