Nairobi Jaffery Academy
Dear Parents
The term has been quite busy with
our candidates sitting checkpoint, O
-Level, AS, and A-Level examinations.
The checkpoint results came
out on 18 th June and were given to
the students. The performance was
good but individual parents need to
look at their children’s report, and if
they need any explanations the examination
office is open to all. The
C.I.E /Edexcel Examinations were
successfully completed on 22 nd of
June. The results are expected mid-
August. The examination office
would like to advise parents to impress
upon their children to return
all school property in their possession
before the results are published.
Finally end of year examinations
have been done. Once again it’s
good for every parent to go through
their child’s report form together
with him/her in order to encourage
them where there is need.
In case of any queries regarding examinations
do not hesitate to contact
examinations office.

Triumph!!!
We make a kind appeal to all parents to ensure that their children come in the official kit during the P.E

them losing their school uniform.

KG & Key Stage 1
The Key Stage one pupils took a trip to Amboseli National Park. It was both
an exciting and educative venture. It was an opportunity for our young ones
to be away from home, under the care of our trained and loving teachers.
‘Farm Animals’ was the theme for our grade 1s this term and they had an
opportunity to visit a farm and see how animals are reared. On the other
hand the grade 2s’ theme was ‘Our wide horizon in communication’ and to
crown their studies, they visited Milele Radio Station and got a chance to be
interviewed on air.
Over this holiday, we call upon all parents to monitor the materials their
children read and watch on the media and guide them accordingly.
