Update from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Thank you to parents for attending the Year 6/7 transition event this week presented by Ms Stephanie. It is a good time to plan ahead and reassure the students of the move between Primary and Secondary. Following this, we have a transition morning next Thursday across the school.
We have enjoyed our splash days this week for EYFS, KS1, LKS2, UKS2 and the KS3 swim gala, a great week to get involved in swimming and promoting a healthy lifestyle. To see the progress of all students has been fantastic!
Thank you to Mr Phil for organising our first ‘stargazing’ event, a fascinating opportunity for our students at school and one that we believe will gather more interest in the future! – amazing photos, an introduction to stargazing and a fun-filled evening for everyone.
Thank you to Mr Chris for putting together another great sporting occasion with the KS2 Girls football event on Monday. It is always great to see everyone supporting our students with interests across all aspects of school from performing to sport!
Congratulations to our Early Years Department who have been awarded ‘Early Years School of the Year’ at the Powerlist awards gala dinner held at the InterContinental hotel on Tuesday. Well done to the entire team for an amazing achievement. Fully deserved with your hard work, commitment and innovative approach to providing the best possible environment for our students to learn in.
As we approach the summer, the weather is warmer and I like to remind all members of the community to stay hydrated, so please drink plenty of water. Also, wear a hat if needed and take precautions if you are out and about in the sun either in school or beyond with sunscreen. We want everyone to be as safe and as healthy as possible, especially as the temperature rises in the coming weeks.
We aim to ensure that the final 3 weeks of term are calm, organised and as smooth as possible throughout until we finish on Thursday 27th June (a 12-noon finish for everyone). For those of you planning to travel after the Eid holiday, please remember the first key dates for the next school year:
Sunday 25th August: Orientation Day
Monday 26th August: First Day of School
A full calendar for all term dates for next year can be found here.

Finally, thank you to all parents for attending the Talent Show last Thursday. It was a wonderful way in which to finish the week, to celebrate a growth mindset, encourage our students to have fun and spread enjoyment across the entire school. Well done to all students for getting up on stage and performing, even to have the courage to do this deserves a lot of credit and respect. The quality and the variety of performances were a joy to see.
It has been an incredible team effort and we are very proud of the students.
Have a great weekend!

Virtual Learning
Last year it was announced that it is no longer mandatory for schools to provide Virtual Learning for students, shared by the Ministry of Education in August 2022.
The Ministry of Education has announced that the syllabus system for the coming academic year 2022/23 in all kindergartens, schools, universities, government and private educational institutions at all stages will be mandatory attendance for all students. The ministry clarified that there would be no choice for parents to attend their children to receive in-person or remotely learning, assuring its keenness to provide for all the requirements for a successful back to school.
At Nadeen School, following the announcement from the Ministry above, our provision for learning will be on site.
