Year 11 continue to set the tone across Secondary. The message this week is practice with purpose-every past paper, revision session, and note you review adds to your preparation for the months ahead. Special note: a huge well done to the Head Boy & Head Girl candidates who spoke in assembly today. Your speeches were a clear example of practice paying off-confident, thoughtful, and inspiring.

Today our Year 11s and 10s delivered wonderful application speeches in front of their peers and teachers, in the Secondary assembly. Every single one of them should be immensely proud for showing such determination and confidence. We wish them all the best with advancing to the next stage which will involve an interview process with our Head of Secondary, Mr Paul and Assistant Head, Mr Jack.

Dear Parents,

As part of our commitment to preparing our learners for their future education pathways we are excited to announce that a representative from King’s College London will be visiting Nadeen to deliver an engaging information session for our learners and parents on Thursday, 18th of September at 3pm in the Performance Theatre. Kings College is a university in London, UK and is ranked in the top 5 universities in the world. Representatives from the university will be visiting the school to share information about university life and academic courses. Please click here to sign up for the event.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our learners to:

• Learn about a wide range of academic programs

• Understand entry requirements

• Find out more information about studying abroad 

The session is designed to support learners in their higher education journey (post Year 13) and will be a great opportunity for them to ask questions directly to a university representative. 

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.

A big thank you to everyone who attended our Year 11 iGCSE Evening. This provided families with an opportunity to get to know the teacher leading each iGCSE subject and become even more familiar with the journey ahead for our Year 11 learners this year.

We are pleased to inform you that our school will be launching a new canteen service in partnership with our external provider, Eastern Bakery, starting on Sunday 7th September 2025. This service will offer our learners convenient and nutritious food options throughout the school day.

Rollout Schedule

To ensure a smooth introduction, the service will be phased in as follows:

Week 1 (Starting 7th September): Secondary – Years 7, 10 and 11

Week 2: All Secondary Year groups

As we learn from our experience with secondary, learners', we will begin to plan how our canteen service can be accessed by our younger learners. Further communication will follow.  

Operating Hours

Canteen opening hours: 8:00am – 2:00pm

Hot meals: Served during the main lunch break

Please see the email sent to all parents for further information

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.
