SS Update 12 June 2025 Y11 Congratulations to the Year 11 students who have now completed their Cambridge IGCSE final examinations. Two years of hard work, followed by a long and challenging period of examinations has finally come to a close. Well done to everyone in Year 11, enjoy the summer break and good luck for next year as you join IB1. I look forward to hearing positive news about your successes when results are released in August. Reports A big thank you to everyone for making the end of year examinations run so smoothly before the holiday. Thank you to students for working hard, parents for their support and arranging transport, and to colleagues for invigilation and marking scripts. Quarter 4 reports are now in the final stages of review and checking ready for publication on the Engage portal by Thursday 19 June. We will provide an email update for parents and students once the reports are published. Attendance Learning continues until the end of the academic year; it is therefore critical that students are attending school so as not to be disadvantaged compared to their peers. Non-Uniform Day Next week we host a blue themed non-uniform day on Tuesday 17 June. Students can gain house points for each piece of blue clothing worn while a photobooth, a volleyball match, nut-free baking competition and bake sale will take place. Students should bring SAR 10 for the non-uniform day, SAR 5 for the photo booth and any funds they choose for the bake sale. All funds raised contribute to demonstrate our thanks to the wonderful site team, affectionately known as “the men in blue” who make such a difference each day in our school. IB1 Science We will also conduct the Coordinated Science project for IB1 students on Wednesday 18 June – this being an important requirement of the IB Diploma Programme. Mr Scottorn's Message Finally, this is my penultimate Secondary Update as my family and I will leave Jeddah in the near future. Thank you to all members of the school community for your support over the past five years and your kind words and warm wishes for the future. It is much appreciated, and I know that other departing colleagues are equally appreciative
