Dear Parents,

The school day starts at the usual time on Friday 1^st September of 07.45 and finishes at 11.50 am. Students who live in Sharjah will have an earlier prayer time and they may leave at 11.20 am if they have difficulty in reaching their homes in time for prayers. I ask that parents from Sharjah requiring an early dismissal from school telephone the school office Ms Shadia/Ms Hanan on 050 434 5358 so we can list students leaving for the safety of the children and inform teachers of who is leaving.

Any concerns please contact Ms Hanan in the school office.

Best wishes, Principal

Dear Parents,

May we offer our congratulations on the Occasion of Eid Al Adha next week. Kindly note that the last day of term will be Friday 23^rd June at 11.50, due to the Eid holiday. Students continue to have examinations on the 23^rd June therefore we expect them to attend school but not on Monday 26^th June.

We have been instructed by the Ministry of Education that we are unable to issue reports until the mark sheets have been approved by them, however, the school will send them electronically as soon as that has been obtained.

Best wishes for a joyous celebration!

Regards,

Jan Brettingham Ms

Dear Parents Grades 7-10,

I hope you are well.

We are now entering the final examination period for the year and wish to share information with you.

Examinations start on Thursday 8^th June. All students have an examination timetable issued on seesaw. Attendance is compulsory and absence for medical reasons requires a medical certificate. Students who have had medical absence will be given an examination paper with a different content on return to school. Any absence due to family emergency needs to be given directly to Ms Hanan on admin@fpa.sch.ae please.

The National Agenda examinations required by the government will also take place during this period. These allow standardisation of student performance across the United Arab Emirates.

Students should come in school uniform not P.E. kit and have all the correct equipment which their subject teacher and mentor will have discussed with them. No smart watches of appliances are allowed in the examination. The equipment needs to be in a transparent pencil case or plastic bag.

For Grades 7-10 school finishes at 13.30 Monday- Thursday and 12.00 Friday, however if family transport arrangements require or parents wish, supervised revision will be given from 13.30-15.00 Monday-Thursday. Kindly ensure that this is noted in the homework planner with parent signature so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Best wishes,

Jan Brettingham Ms
