"Nurturing Today’s Young People, Inspiring Tomorrow’s Leaders"

As we come to the end of the year, I remind myself: “Success is only by Allaah.”

Al-Quran (Surah Hud 11:88)

As we take stock and of our achievements over this last year and look towards the future to what we need to continue to strive for – we need to take a moment to reflect and accept that all that happens is by the grace of Allaah – His decree reigns supreme; and all of our successes come from Him – He has simply provided us with the means to deliver them

Our Y11s have now departed after an intense examination period We pray that Allaah gives them all that they deserve and more Our Y10s and Y9s have had a taster of mock exams to prepare them for their future successes insha’Allaah And Y7s and Y8s have had an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learnt since the start of the year

Along with academia, the school has been alive this term with lots of extra-curricular activities and opportunities for trips to Kew Gardens to see the plants of the Qur’aan exhibition, to Ice-Skating at Lea Valley, building on pupil’s cultural capital We have had lots of activities at school also including our Sports Day and Eden’s Variety Show where students have been able to showcase their talents. As a school we have come together to mark Ramadhaan, Eid al-Fitr, Dhul Hijjah and Eid al-Adha by regular opportunities for reflecting, worship, Spirituality Days and celebrating. Our Eid celebrations saw the vibrancy and full flair of the diversity within Eden – students and staff came into school wearing beautiful clothes and sharing food representing their cultural identity in celebration of our united faith. This academic year we have raised nearly

£22,000 for a variety of local and international causes – heartfelt gratitude to our students and their families for this phenomenal achievement!

As we look to the future, we bid farewell to six staff, the most poignant being our Vice Principal, Mr Atif Ajaib who is moving to Riyadh for a new adventure in the world of international schools; we wish him all the success in this world and beyond He will be dearly missed by staff and students alike

We pray that you have a wonderful Summer holiday, where families have an opportunity to spend quality time together taking part in activities, hobbies and enjoying each other’s company I hope you get an opportunity to curl up with a good book after you put down this magazine.

All in all, we have had a fantastic year, alhamdulillah we have striven and insha’Allaah we now look forward to reaping the rewards in August and seeing our wonderfully rejuvenated students back on Monday 4th September

I wish you all a restful summer,

Happy Holidays,

Aamena Mayet Principal

Sustainable Fashion

In April we dedicated time learning about how to keep our planet safe.

On the 8th June we celebrated World Ocean Day: our Year 7s and 8s worked together to create a collage and mixed art project with an amazing end result! We completed an online petition to support sustainable fashion. Our very own Eco-club delivered an assembly on World Environment Day, explaining ways to be more sustainable and friendly to the environment.

Our lovely Year 7s designed their own creative slogans to support World Environment Day, while our Year 8 students celebrated World Environment Day by learning about plastic pollution and different ways to prevent it.
