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
Mariam Mayet Amreen Patel Jag Singh David Wilson
You can find the INA Safeguarding policy, Child Protection policy and other related policies and procedures on the Academy’s website.

Dear Parents and Carers, I spent two days out of school last week at the Ark Principals’ annual conference. It was a great opportunity to learn with and from other Principals in the network. It is always beneficial to be reminded of our shared mission to transform the lives of young people through education and our shared values expressed through the six Ark pillars.
I came back to school energised and, as we are always looking to improve, with some fresh ideas to share with staff. As we draw near to the end of term, we have some key events on the calendar. • Year 7 Progress meetings take place on Monday 1st April and we look forward to seeing all of our Year 7 parents from 2.30pm. • We are also preparing for our termly Awards Assemblies and end of term concert. I do hope to see you at these events. More details follow later in the newsletter.
With all best wishes,

A Warm Invite to INA’s End of Spring Term Awards Assemblies Monday 1st April - Year 8 Friday 5th April - Years 7, 9, 10 & 11 On Monday 1st April and Friday 5th April we will be holding our end of term awards assemblies. This is an important opportunity for the staff, students, governors and parents/carers to formally celebrate our students’ achievements. There will be a separate assembly for each year group. Please note the times and locations as follows:
Monday 1st April
8.55-9.45 Year 8 Awards assembly
Friday 5th April 11.05am Year 10 Awards Assembly Dining Hall Year 9 Awards Assembly KS3 Hall 12.00pm Year 11 Awards Assembly Dining Hall Year 7 Awards Assembly KS3 Hall 1.00pm Students dismissed At the assemblies we will be presenting awards in recognition of students’ academic progress and attainment, personal progress and the development of their BRIDGES dispositions. Excellent attendance and punctuality will also be celebrated. We believe that it is important that every student is represented by a parent at the Awards assembly for their year group. Tickets will be distributed in the lead up to the awards assemblies. Due to limited capacity, we are unable to accommodate very many additional family members. However, if you would like additional places, please notify the school office and we will do our best to allocate an additional ticket. I look forward to seeing you during these special celebrations.

Ayham Ahmad The Syrian Civil war started in 2011 and is ongoing. So far, there has been an estimated 500,000 deaths and over 7 million people forced to leave their homes. Despite all this despair, certain individuals have shown great perseverance. Ayham Ahmad became famous when he posted videos of himself playing the piano amongst the bombed streets of his home city Damascus. His music became a symbol of hope and peace; people would gather around his piano and join in singing. Eventually, Ayham and his family were forced to leave their home. As he tried to wheel his piano away a militant stopped him and set the piano on fire. At that point Ayham could have given up. However, he was able to overcome that setback. As a refugee he has been forced to move all around Europe in different camps. At each destination, despite the immense challenges, he has persevered and found a way to play the piano and spread peace, bringing different cultures together. He has now written an autobiography and had documentaries made about him.

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. Mr Crowther-Green, Assistant Principal 22 March 2019

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/ carer's 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. 22 March 2019

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

Ahmed Al-Khafaji Award
(Peer Commendation Award) Ahmed was well known for being kind, for helping others and for being extremely polite. He was also someone known for his hard work and absorption; the idea, therefore, is that the winner should be someone who encapsulated one of these qualities in that week. Year 7: Afifa Ahmedabadi 7W Year 8: Qasim Qadir 8W Year 9: Huzaifa Mughal 9S Year 10: Nihaz Hossain Jamal 10W Year 11: Omeir Khan 11C
Good Deed Feed Every week we ask teachers to nominate students who have been role models by carrying out good deeds for others and the INA community. A big well done for those who have been nominated this week!
Thank you to Afifa Ahmedabadi 7W, Sara Ali 7W and Aminah Begum 7W who supported at Year 10 progress meetings, all of the teachers really appreciated their rounds of refreshments! - Mr Crowther-Green Mr Athwal, Pastoral Leader for Year 11, i/c of Praise and Recognition
