It gives me a source of immense pride and satisfaction to lead such a committed group of staff and pupils whose achievements are now being so widely recognised. Receiving the 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted in November 2017 is, of course, a part of that recognition, as is the recent letter received from the schools' minister, Nick Gibb who wrote to us for the second consecutive year because of the excellent results achieved by pupils at the end of 2017. I look forward to continuing to develop the Iqra experience for all of our pupils and their families in the coming months and years.
