Year 5 English has taken us on a whirlwind adventure this year!
We have embarked on perilous journeys, defeated mythical
monsters, explored different cultures and delved deep into the
heart of villains!
We began the year exploring the world and culture of South
Africa while following the perilous journey of one courageous
family. We learnt the art of various forms of punctuation and
descriptive writing, embedding these skills into our own pieces
of writing and creating our own journeys! How can we possibly forget the mysterious
crime that was committed in our school?!
Our next adventure was one of intrigue, excitement and a We became detectives for the day, inves-
whole lot of adrenaline! We explored the world of Ancient tigated crime scenes, analysed shoe prints
Greece and its mythical stories. We delved deep into Wonder- and handwriting, discovered shocking
land and crossed paths with many strange and mind-boggling clues in ciphered notes and finally caught
mysteries and let’s not forget about the ancient school of Magic the perpetrator; our very own Mr Garnett.
we attended. Our time at the escape rooms was a memorable He was not so pleased to see his name in
one and we will live to tell the tale for many days to come! our newspaper report of the criminal act!
We have truly had an incredible year filled
with unforgettable learning memories and
we can’t wait to see what adventures Year
6 brings our way!

As a wonderful year has drawn to an end, what is the
one word to describe Year 5C?
Confidence!
This group of pupils has progressed through the year
with determination. It has been a privilege to watch them
achieve their targets throughout the year. They have
faced challenges as a group and individually, yet togeth-
er kept taking steps forward.
As a result, ‘confidence’ was a key attribute to them all
experiencing both big and small successes on their learn-
ing journeys. We have learnt, we have laughed and we
have matured. There is no doubt that they will be good
role models and confident leaders in Year 6 next year.

shine. I have been dazzled by their reliance, perseverance
and their outstanding attitude towards life and learning.
They have also amply demonstrated their willingness to
contribute to the fuller life of the school by taking on
positions of additional responsibility. They have been
prefects, student councillors, eco councillors, wellbeing
ambassadors and amazed us all with their acting skills in
our school performance.
They epitomise everything that is good at Jeddah Prep
and they are ready to take Grammar by storm

This year, 6C has had a great time exploring loads of
new and interesting books, finding new authors and
realising that there is a book out there for everyone. This
has made us a class of SUPER readers. We have also
learned the importance of talk to help us explore, explain
and develop understanding of new concepts in Maths
and Science.
We have enjoyed finding out more about different coun-
tries, looking at the similarities and differences and the
human and physical geography that often explains these
reasons for these.
We can’t wait to see what Grammar School has in store
for us.

Designated Safeguarding Lead
Assistant Headteacher
Mr Munsoor Shahzad
“
Mr
The most enjoyable part of my role has certainly been working very
closely with the JPGS Pupil Leadership Groups. The Head Team have
been fantastic role models and have played huge part in the successes
of our charitable initiatives. Our Eid clothes for an orphan initiative was
very special. Our JPGS community was very generous in their dona-
tions. It was great to visit Mawakab Alajer with the Head Team. Mawak-
ab Alajer is a social enterprise in Jeddah which supports orphans.
Mrs Riaz and I have enjoyed supporting the Head Team in pushing
pupil voice through the School Council. The School Council is a well-es-
tablished institution in our school. We have representations from each
class in the prep school and tutor group in the grammar school. The
representatives have worked well to ensure pupil voice is important and
contributing to giving the pupils an even better experience at school.
Through the School Council we now have dedicated prayer rooms for
both boys and girls. We have added to our Extra Curricular Activities.
The Key Stage Iftar Meals was a School Council initiative which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all those that attended. Our Wellbeing Ambas-
sadors show the caring nature of our pupils and they have focussed in
organising fun activities during breaktimes and they took charge of Anti
Bullying Week. I would like to thank Mrs Hafsa and Miss Widdoks in
supporting these pupils.
Our Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award students completed their Adven-
turous Journey at Moon Mountain. I was proud by the efforts of all the
participants. They epitomise all the values that we hold very dear in a
JPGS Student. The students were taken out of their comfort zone with
living in the outdoors. They worked in teams and had to demonstrate
skills in camp craft, hiking and cooking. The conditions were not easy
and each pupil showed resilience in overcoming the many challenges.
I would like to thank Mr McGarry, Mr Mason and Nurse Mirasol who
supported me with delivering this trip.
I am the Designated Safeguarding Lead at school and I enjoyed offer-
ing certified level 1 Safeguarding training to our parents. This further
enhances our commitment that safeguarding is paramount in everything
we do at JPGS.

EVENTS
T H R O U G H O U T T H E Y E A R
SAUDI NATIONAL DAY
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was once
known as the kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz.
On September 23rd, 1932, by virtue of a
royal decree from king Abdul Aziz Ibn
Saud, the name – change took place. It
makes the unification of the modern-day
kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia
National Day only became a public holiday
in 2007.
In 2005, Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdul-
lah bin Abdulaziz announced that from
the 75th National Day, the occasion will
become an annual national holiday. The
Kingdom marks National Day with folk
dances, songs and traditional festivals. The
roads and buildings are decorated with
Saudi flags.
Every year in JPGS we celebrate this day
at the school with special events and treats
for all pupils and teachers. Pupils wear
Saudi National Dress. Boys wear: a thobe
and a ghutrah and girls wear: a traditional
jalabiya. Saudi National cuisine is served
in the cafeteria and the school is decorated
with Saudi flags.
This year we celebrated with a whole
school assembly, beginning by singing
the Saudi national anthem, explaining the
history of the Saudi flag and the history of
this wonderful country. There were many
activities, food and stalls for the pupils to
enjoy during the day.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
Led by Mr Ayub and a select few from year
9, the Remembrance Day assembly present-
ed an alternative narrative of the history of
Poppy Day. The clock strikes 11, the entire
hall is filled with every member of staff
and pupil from prep and grammar. Silence
filled the room as every soul present
reflects on the horrors of war. Not specific
to just World War 1, Remembrance Day
honours the lost; men, women, children
and animals lost due to warfare.
The poppy became a became a symbol of
life and hope as the only life that grew on
the bloody battlefields. Later on, alternate
poppies were introduced. The White Pop-
py: symbol for lasting peace. Purple Poppy:
for the animals who served. Black Poppy:
highlight contribution of black, African
and Caribbean communities. Khadi Poppy:
recognize the contribution of the soldiers of
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The event started with an emotive ad-
dress from the Head followed by the prep
school reciting poetry and the choir singing
‘where have all the flowers gone’. Mr Ayub
and the Year 9 pupils then proceeded to de-
liver an informative timeline of the events
in the early 20th Century.
Talking about the causes and consequences
of World War One, the entire school was
captivated. Subsequently, the honoured
guests, both the Consul General and the
army attaché reaffirmed the importance of
why we remember.

WINTER CONCERT 2022
The Prep School Winter Concerts took
place on December 15th 2022. These fea-
tured a variety of songs looking towards
the Festive Season in combination with
more traditional items, drawing from the
many cultures and nationalities represent-
ed at JPGS in our diverse student body. Six
languages were featured: English, Arabic,
Urdu, French, Swahili and Ukrainian.
In addition to performances from each of
the Year groupings, we were treated to
performances from the Junior Choir, Senior
Choir and the Year Six Recorder Ensemble.
Most items were accompanied live by a
band consisting of piano, drums and bass,
showcasing the talent of two of our most
promising Grammar School musicians.

ANNUAL SPORTS DAY
Sport forms an integral part of a pupil’s
life at Jeddah Prep and Grammar School.
All of our pupils experience a wide variety
of different sporting activities through PE
lessons, as well as the diverse after-school
activities programme that the School has to
offer.
The ethos of the Sports Department is sport
for all, with a focus on progression and
enjoyment.
70
We believe that
every child should
be given the op-
portunity to devel-
op their potential
to the very best of
their abilities. All
pupils are encour-
aged to pursue
sports in which
they are talented
or interested.
In achieving this
we hope that our
pupils leave us
with a love of sport
and a desire to
continue partic-
ipating that will
stay with them
throughout their
lives.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH
INTERNATIONAL AWARD
The Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award
pupils set out in the school bus for the
one hour journey to Ghran to familiarise
themselves with the terrain in the area
around Moon Mountain where they will
be completing the Adventurous Journey
portion of the DofE.
This will involve a practice journey with
an overnight stay before the journey itself
which takes place over three days with
two nights of camping. As well as four
and a half hours of walking per day, the
participants, who will be divided into two
groups, will have to decide on a mean-
ingful area of research for the exploration
element of the journey.
Provided with maps and compasses, the
pupils took turns leading the group around
a 7 km course so that staff could assess
confidence and group dynamics to assist
in dividing up the teams for the AJ. Pupils
were also encouraged to use the trip to de-
cide the areas of focus for their exploration.
The area was full of interesting geographical

SKI TRIP TO SWITZERLAND
43 JPGS pupils enjoyed a fantastic week in
Switzerland, skiing in the resort of La tzou-
maz Verbier. They enjoyed seven days of
fresh snow and sunny days, which meant
fantastic conditions for everyone.
Students were delighted to have several
groups of skiers of all levels, from those
taking up skiing for the first time to their
group of experienced and expert skiers.
They managed to conserve some energy for
the evenings, notably torch light walking
in the forest and around the village of la
tzoumaz verbier one evening to complete
a scavenger hunt. Overall, they had a great
time enjoying with their friends.
73
HEART OF ARABIA
We were given a unique opportunity to
bring the curriculum to life, through the
Heart of Arabia Expedition. The trek the
four explorers undertook enabled our
pupils to draw on geographical skills, do
historical research, it inspired English crea-
tive writing and provided the stimulus for
a number of creative arts projects.
Pupils from the grammar school closely
followed the journey on social media so by
the time the team reached their final night
in the desert a number of our pupils were
well prepared to go and meet the team
and sit down with them to learn first hand
about the experience.
We proudly showcased the work our
pupils had completed linked to the topic
and also unveiled a commemorative wall
mural.
74
INTERNATIONAL DAY
The 2023 International Day celebration was
a wonderful event where were celebrated
our uniqueness and diversity as an Interna-
tional school community.
The day included an assembly, parade
and international fair with music food and
country stalls. The school is represented
by 55 nationalities. Each nationality was
celebrated, applauded and it was amazing
to see the different national dress, food,
culture, music and artefacts on display at
our International Fair.
As always, the reason why the day was
such a success was due to the efforts, kind-
ness and sheer hard work and commitment
of the JPGS community. International day
is a wonderful occasion to celebrate our
diversity as one JPGS global community.

BOOK WEEK
Jeddah Prep and Grammar School Book
Week commenced on Sunday 26th Febru-
ary when the children returned from their
half-term break.
They had an exciting week of activities
planned. The theme for the week was ‘Try
Something New!’ where each year group
was to explore a book that represented this
theme in some way.
Launch Assembly
The week commenced with a launch as-
sembly where staff introduced some of the
different things happening during the week
with children getting the chance to share
some of their favourite books and stories.
Book Fair
We hosted a book fair for children from
Nursery through to Year 9 from 8am to
2.30pm each day. Children got the chance
to select books to buy for their own home
collections.
In the Class
Throughout the week, children explored
the books that each class or year group
were covering. These books had been
available in classrooms and many of you
have purchased them for your children so
we can enjoy activities around about them
throughout the week.
76
Class Junk Design
Challenge
We also brought back the
junk design challenge
which displayed on our
outside display boards.
We used, clean, recyclable
materials for this. Materi-
als such as glue, paint etc
were provided. Each class
was asked to design and
make a door display on
the day of the competition
and jury decided to select
the winners.
Year 8 Performances
As part of their own
programme of study, the
Year 8s have created short
presentations for each
year group, based on
stories they had read in
class. We joined the world
in celebrating World Book
Day with lots of costumes
of some of the favourite
book characters from the
books we have explored
together. We marked the
occasion with a special
assembly where each year
group gave a presentation
based on their book. The
teachers surprised every-
one with some fin music
videos too. We finished up
with a fabulous parade of
all our incredible cos-
tumes.

SEUSSICAL
With the aid of a colourful cast of fifty-eight
students from Years Three, Four, Five and
Six, we were transported into the magical
world of Dr Seuss as Horton the Elephant
struggled to save his friend Jojo and the
Citizens of Who from impending destruc-
tion at the hands of the Sour Kangaroo and
Wickersham Brothers.
We started learning the songs in Novem-
ber and auditioned for the major roles in
December. Intense rehearsals began in
January: four days a week from 2.30 to 4pm
with an additional three Saturday rehears-
als from 10am to 2pm.
Seussical was originally planned for March
2020 but was cruelly aborted by the Covid
pandemic. It was hard for students in
the Grammar School to watch younger
students (even siblings!) perform roles they
had themselves been preparing for three
years earlier.
The show was highly acclaimed by all who
saw it and we are already anticipating next
year’s follow up.

EARTH DAY
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every
year to spread awareness about the dire
need to protect our endangered and fragile
environment. Pupils at JPGS celebrated
this day by coming to school wearing earth
colours and raising money for the purpose
of initiating some ambitious eco projects at
school. Thanks to the JPGS Eco Council for
coming up with the brilliant idea of build-
ing a greenhouse to protect out-of-season
plants against excessive heat.
Pupils in the ‘Green Fingers’ gardening
club got an opportunity to showcase their
wonderful plants, herbs and veggies to
the school community. The juicy green
peppers, aubergines, cabbage, tomatoes,
basil, coriander, and mustard were grown
by pupils in the most sustainable manner
without the use of chemical fertilisers. The
colourful begonias, carnations and periwin-
kles were truly a feast to the eyes.
On this Earth Day, let us all pledge to
reduce our carbon footprint by growing
more trees, saving energy and getting rid of
wasteful habits.
Earth Day should be Every Day!

THE CORONATION OF
KING CHARLES III
To celebrate King Charles and Queen Camil-
la’s coronation, our JPGS learners dressed up
as kings and queens wearing crowns they had
created at home.
There was a Coronation Big Lunch to celebrate
the crowning. Pupils and teachers watched the
whole ceremony and enjoyed being together for
this indoor street party event.
Later in the day parents were invited to watch
the royal parade. What a magnificent sight it
was!!

ROCK ON
It has been a big year for the Grammar School
Music Department.
On March 1 , the Grammar School Band held
st
Jeddah Prep and Grammar’s first ever ‘Rock On
Festival’. This event took place on the school
football pitch. There was a wonderful turnout
where everyone sang along to the well-known
songs being played. After a huge success, we
hope to continue on the annual tradition.
A big thank you and well done to all the
students who have contributed to all the events
held by the Music department this year.

MODEL UNITED NATIONS
We are thrilled to share the exciting news that
our Model United Nations (MUN) club has been
performing exceptionally well in recent compe-
titions! Our students have shown remarkable
dedication and enthusiasm, and we couldn’t be
prouder of their achievements.
For those who may be unfamiliar with MUN,
it is a simulation of the United Nations where
students play the role of delegates from different
countries and debate various global issues.
Through their participation in MUN, our
students have not only developed their public
speaking and critical thinking skills but have also
gained a deeper understanding of diplomacy,
international relations, and teamwork.
Over the past few months, our MUN club has
participated in a regional competition and
our students have consistently demonstrated
their proficiency in researching, debating, and
negotiating. They have won multiple awards and
recognitions, including Best Delegate, Outstand-
ing Delegate, and Honorable Mention.
But more than just winning awards, our students
have also shown a strong commitment to making
positive contributions to our global communi-
ty. They have proposed creative solutions to
complex issues such as climate change, poverty,
and human rights violations, and have worked
collaboratively with their peers to find common
ground and reach consensus.
We applaud the hard work, dedication, and pas-
sion of our MUN club members and their faculty
advisor. Their success is a testament to the
power of education and the potential of our
students to make a real difference in the world.
We look forward to seeing their continued
growth and impact in the future.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Key Stage 3 Coordinator
Mr Eric Mason
“
Progress is a keyword of much importance in Key Stage 3. All of our
Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils are encountering this process throughout their
academic careers in this Key Stage.
They have learnt and made academic progress through their subject
content, assessments, homework and projects. It has been a pleasure
to see the vast improvements being made throughout the various key
assessments taking place within the year groups evident in their termly
reports.
They have made progress pastorally, through developing friendships
and social circles, encountering and overcoming hardship. Standing up
for themselves and sharing their thoughts and feelings. Learning about
their social skills, hygiene and emotional well-being through PHSE
lessons and building up the courage to present their Weekly Themed
Assemblies in front of more than a hundred audience members.
They have made progress physically and mentally, as their bodies
change and mature into young adults, gaining responsibilities through
School Council programmes, representing their Tutor Groups and Hous-
es through Sports Day and Council Meetings and proudly exhibiting to
the Explorers on the Heart of Arabia Expedition visit to our school site.
Also furthering their experiences through Extra Curricular Activities
such as Art, Astronomy, Camping and Sporting Tournament Teams.
It is now a privilege to see these young learners progress into the next
year of their academic careers. Year 7 into 8, the ‘middle-years’ of Key
Stage 3, continuing to look up to Year 9 and above but also progressing
to become role models of the newly acquired Year 7 cohort.
Year 8 into 9, progressing to become the ‘Seniors’ of Key Stage 3, taking
on further responsibilities and beginning to think about their future
careers and jobs as they look forward to IGCSE and A-Level.
Year 9 into 10, progressing their skills and putting them to the test (liter-
ally) as they begin to absorb all the content of their elected subjects.
I, myself, have developed skills, made new friendships, and created a
new rapport with young learners as well as furthering in various other
aspects of my life, as I am sure we all are continuing to do so, progress-
ing together.
86
Key Stage 4 Coordinator
Mr Zakaria Mohamed
“ As Head of Key Stage 4, I had the privilege of supporting our Y10 and
Mr
Y11 pupils this year. For many children and their families these two
years are the most important years their school journey. Our pupils in
Y10 have made a smooth and quick transition from Key Stage 3. It is a
real pleasure seeing them mature and settle into their IGCSE courses.
These pupils are taking the opportunity to develop new skills, learn
unfamiliar content and meet new expectations which often involved
working under pressure. In doing so, they have demonstrated excellent
work ethic, relentless energy and reflective attitude to strive towards
excellence.
The Y11s had equally successful year with the added pressure of know-
ing their IGCSE exams are fast approaching. I’ve been so impressed with
the resilience, focus and grit of this year group. They started the year
with real purpose, determined to improve their subject knowledge and
exam technique by organising their revision schedules, taking every
opportunity to attend interventions and extra support. I have been
particularly impressed with their willingness to collaborate and support
each other.
We’ve worked very hard as a school to make sure our Y11s are ade-
quately prepared for the final exams by organising revision workshops,
health and well-being sessions, mentoring and coaching sessions.
Despite the pressures of the looming exams, the Y11s have taken the
opportunity to participate in school-wide initiatives including many
working as prefects, attending ECAs, trips, university fairs. Many of
them have taken the opportunities to become leaders as prefects and
members of the student council.
We have even greater plans for next year to support our Key Stage pu-
pils including more opportunities to engage with the outside world, to
develop and demonstrate leadership skills, to engage with more whole
school initiatives. We will continue to prepare them for their final exams
by organising meaningful interventions, assemblies, workshops to make
sure they have prepare both mentally and academically ready.
It has been a real pleasure leading Key Stage 4 and working with a
bunch of brilliant young people and supportive parents. I am looking
forward to seeing the IGCSE results for our Y11s and the transitioning of
our Y10s to Year their final year of the IGCSEs and of course welcoming
the current Y9s to Y10.
