Southern Entrance

We would like to remind parents and carers that the gate at the southern entrance will be locked at 08:23 each morning. Students arriving after this time should enter via the main entrance in Cricklefield Place.

Safeguarding The welfare and safety of our students is our priority. We do everything possible to ensure our students’ safety, both within the school community and outside of school, including working with relevant agencies to address any issues related to child protection. Students are informed of who they should go to should they have a concern about their own safety or the safety of others. At INA, all staff have regular safeguarding training to ensure that they are able to meet their statutory responsibilities. We also have a number of staff who are designated to respond to any child protection concerns and to liaise with social services: Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) Leanne Abbott-Jones Assistant Principal Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) Tam Broadway Primary Headteacher Sugra Alibhai Head of Sixth Form Designated Child Protection Officers Patrick Ball (Online safety) Pardeep Chaggar Jody Lapish Gareth Marshall-Jones

Dear Parents and Carers, We were delighted to welcome parents/carers and students to our second Sixth Form Open Evening on Tuesday. Year 11 are busy completing and submitting their applications which are due by Friday 1st February. Following this, 1-to-1 interviews with students and their parents will be scheduled for the IL Day on March 8th. Our first BRIDGES mentoring session of the year took place on Wednesday. We were impressed with how well students from all years were able to reflect on their BRIDGES dispositions and what they need to do to strengthen them further. This week the senior team have been busy holding 1-to-1 options meetings with students of Year 9 and their parents. They will continue over the next two weeks, ending on 15th February. And finally, we are really looking forward to the seeing our production of Hairspray on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Students and a team of staff led by Ms Watkins have been working on the production since the start of the autumn term. It looks to be a fantastic and very entertaining show. Please see later in the newsletter for further details.

With all best wishes,

Jo Spencer

BRIDGES mentoring as an all-through school As INA grows towards reaching full capacity, with students between 4 and 18 years old, BRIDGES continues to be at the heart of all we do. One of the most exciting opportunities has been for cross-phase BRIDGES mentoring. This has involved 20 6th Form students mentoring Year 11 students and 30 Year 9 students mentoring Year 3 and Year 4 students.

The mentors received specific training and prepared extremely well to make the sessions a success. Each student was mentoring up to 6 younger students, which requires incredible focus. It was a great opportunity for the mentors to develop their leadership qualities. For the younger students who were being mentored, it was an opportunity to reflect on their BRIDGES dispositions and future learning trajectories. The Year 3 and Year 4 students especially had worked really hard to prepare for their mentoring sessions with the Year 9s. Many of the mentees commented on how much they valued discussing such issues with a study from the secondary school.

TOP TIPS: Students

Sir Isaac Newton [1643 - 1727] Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian. He is considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived. He made connections between the world of maths, physics and astrology to propose the three laws of motion. He also invented the mathematical branch of calculus, proved light was made up of a spectrum of all colours, designed the reflecting telescope (which we still mostly use today) and is even rumoured to be the inventor of the cat flap! Newton had an incredible memory which enabled him to produce work at an extraordinary level. He also kept meticulous notes (a technique he used for remembering and making connections) using a logical filing system which made them easy to find.

What is Making Connections?

To see and make links between different experiences and events and having the inclination to look for them. Making connections between the learning and skills you are developing with your own real-life experiences; drawing on what or how you are learning in one subject (or a skill you have mastered) to support you with your learning of another subject or skill. To recall, or memorise something for future use; to retain in the memory; to commemorate or keep in mind. Seeking coherence, relevance and meaning.

Parents

• Talk to your son/daughter about when you need to use your memory in everyday life and the strategies you use for remembering. • Play word association games when travelling. Name a city, next person names a city that begins with the last letter of the previous answer. E.g. Paris – Sydney – Yokohama etc… • Ask your son/daughter to tell you about what he/she has learned that day and tease out how what they’ve learned links to real life. • Discuss Armistice and other key national and international commemorative events and why we need to remember them with your child. • Encourage your child to do Sudoku puzzles and other puzzles which help long-term recall.

Praise and Recognition At INA, we aim to provide a stimulating, challenging and rewarding learning environment which supports learning, celebrates achievement and encourages everyone. Awarding merits, informal praise in class and the end of term awards assemblies are all part of this. Please speak to your child/children on a regular basis to see how many merits they have and how they are working towards the different awards at school.

Merits The inter-form merit competition is heating up – with more and more merits being given out each week. Each merit you gain will increase your individual total and also your form’s overall total. So make sure you are keeping up the fantastic work to gain merits! Also if you are owed a merit go and collect it and make sure it gets recorded on your form’s spreadsheet! YEAR 7

INA Attendance and Punctuality Regular attendance is a crucial factor in students’ educational development and success in achieving their full potential. Missing out on education and learning leaves students vulnerable to falling behind, putting them under unnecessary pressure. At Isaac Newton Academy every student is expected to maintain 100% attendance.

Punctuality All students need to be present on site and ready for line up no later than 8.25am each day and as such we advise students to be through the school gates (side entrance and southern entrance) no later than 8.23am.

Reporting of child’s absence In line with INA attendance policy it is the parent/ carers responsibility to phone the school by 8.15am on each day of an absence. If you fail to contact the school to inform us of your child’s absence we may take the necessary steps to ensure your child is safe. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the INA Attendance policy.

Absences immediately before or after a school holiday If your child is absent before or after a school holiday we must see evidence for the absence. This may be medical evidence if your child is unwell, or evidence of flight delays or circumstances beyond your control. We cannot authorise any absences before or after a holiday without this evidence and you risk being issued with a penalty notice.

Friends of Isaac Newton Academy It was great to have our first Friends of INA (FOINA) meeting this week where we spent time electing a new committee. It was lovely to have parents from both the Primary and Secondary phases and in some cases parents with children in both phases of the school. Next week I will be able to share with you our new committee members and the date of the next meeting where will welcome more parents to come and along and get involved. Ms Broadway

GCSE Examinations Contingency Day

The Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) have announced a contingency date of the 26th of June 2019. A contingency date is a day specifically set aside “in the event of widespread, sustained national or local disruption to examinations during the June 2019 examination series�. This decision comes following the tragic events of last summer, in particular the Manchester attack and the Grenfell Tower fire. It may be necessary to postpone an exam in the event of such an incident to allow all students a fair and equal chance. This means that all candidates taking GCSE or A Level exams must be available to sit exams from the date of their first exam until the 26th June 2019. We understand that once your exams are over you will probably want to celebrate, but in light of this new rule please do not organise a holiday or plan to be any distance from school until after the 26th June. This decision is not one that has been taken by INA, it has been imposed on all schools by JCQ and does apply to all candidates in all schools in the UK.
