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) Jo Spencer Vice Principal Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) Tam Broadway Primary Headteacher Designated Child Protection Officers Eleanor Seale Office Manager Leanne Abbott-Jones Assistant Principal Gareth Marshall-Jones Primary Deputy Headteacher Patrick Ball Pastoral Leader
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, With the end of year exams fast approaching (see timetable further on in the newsletter), we once again invited Tim Foot into school this week to lead his Revision Skills workshop with the Year 7 students. As well as taking part in a study seminar, the students received a free copy of his book which describes different revision techniques and top exam tips. The Year 7s were a credit to INA and we know the skills they learnt will support them with their future assessments. Many of you will know that Ms Stylianou is expecting a baby shortly. We wish her all the very best for the final stages of her pregnancy. She will be starting her maternity leave at half term. For the remainder of the academic year Ms Rayner will be stepping into the role of Pastoral Leader. She is looking forward to working with the Year 9s and their parents/carers. And finally, I should like to introduce you to our new Music teacher, Ms Robertson. She replaces Ms Waters who left us at Easter to become a Head of Music at a school in Essex. Ms Robertson introduces herself below:
Ms Robertson, Music Teacher I am very happy to have joined INA community. My first impressions over the past few weeks is that INA is a very welcoming place with friendly staff and students who are proud of their school. Music has always been a great passion of mine. My earlier teaching experiences have been within a community music setting in different contexts across London. I have taught secondary music in two other London schools. All these have been a great experience in terms of getting to work with different students and developing my teaching within Music. I am also an active musician in my free time – I play mainly the piano and trumpet, and I sometimes like to perform as a songwriter. I love living in London because 12 May 2017

I get to explore the many different live music and arts venues that the city has to offer – The Barbican, Southbank Centre, Royal Albert Hall, Festival Hall, Brixton Academy, Roundhouse and Jazz CafÊ to name a few. Something else I love to do is travel. Just before I started at INA I arrived back from a 5 month trip around the world, visiting countries like New Zealand, Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. My next aim is to explore more of Europe over the holidays! I find it fascinating to explore other cultures and to meet people from all over the world. I look forward to getting to know my students and fellow colleagues more over the coming weeks, and to improving my skills on the saxophone and trombone! With all best wishes,
Rachel Macfarlane Foodbank visitor at Isaac Newton Academy In the run up to the spring holiday, our Charity Council at Isaac Newton Academy had a drive to collect goods for our local Redbridge Foodbank. This was a great chance for the INA community to help support the most vulnerable people in our wider local community. Each form collected donated goods from members of the form to give as a donation. On the day of the collection we were visited by Father Dana Jackson who spoke to representatives from our Charity Council, explaining the good work they do and the importance of the building the community spirit. We were bowled over by the enthusiasm and generosity of our community in supporting this charitable event and would like to thank all who donated for all their continued support with our charitable endeavours this year. Mr Clift-Matthews & Ms Atkinson

The Primary girls enjoyed a new sport at ‘girls can’ this week! Handball was the sport on everyone’s lips and the secondary girls took the primary students through their paces. With amazing goals form all teams, the half time talks led by the primary girls definitely made the difference – collaboration at its finest! Well done girls! Ms Hutson, PE Department
Breakfast availability with effect from 14th May 2017 During the GCSE examinations which commence next Monday 14th May, we will be offering breakfast exam preparation sessions for all year 11 students taking an exam that morning. This means that there will be no automatic breakfast offer to the rest of the school. However, if your child would like breakfast on a particular day, please ask them to see Mr Iles, Chef Manager, in advance. Many thanks for your support and understanding. Mrs Chamberlain 12 May 2017

Attendance Regular attendance is a crucial factor in students’ educational development and ability to achieve their full potential. At Isaac Newton Academy every student is set the target of 100% attendance. We know that attendance has a direct link to progress, and would urge you to really consider if a day off school is necessary. Congratulations to 7N, 7S, 8A and 8T for 100% attendance last week.

BRIDGES Mentoring Wednesday 17th May The second BRIDGES mentoring session takes place on Wednesday 17th May from 1:45-4:30pm. All students will be given a fifteen minute 1:1 coaching session with their BRIDGES mentor.
This is an important opportunity for KS3 students to reflect on how they have developed or strengthened their BRIDGES dispositions, to discuss the dispositions they consider to be their strengths and the ones they need to work on further. Year 10 students will be engaging in a mock interview focusing on their preparedness for GCSEs and work experience and how they are further strengthening their BRIDGES dispositions to achieve success in both. Year 11 students will return home for an independent learning afternoon which they should use for revision.
Arrangements All students will complete lessons p1 – 4. Lesson 4 will end at 12.50 (Y10 & 11 students will complete lesson 4 as per KS3 timings). Students will leave school at 1.00pm. Students who are eligible for Free School Meals who request lunch in advance (via form tutors) can collect a lunch bag from the student reception as they leave. Students are expected to go directly home and return between 1.45-4.30pm for a fifteen minute 1:1 coaching session with their BRIDGES mentor. They are not permitted to wait on site for appointments that start at 1.45pm. Appointment times will be issued to students at the start of next week. Students must attend their session on time. KS3 students must wear full school uniform. Year 10 students may wear either school uniform or professional work wear. We are unable to supervise other students as all staff are BRIDGES mentors and will be engaged in mentoring session throughout the afternoon. Parents are not required at the sessions but will be given feedback on how their son or daughter’s BRIDGES skills are progressing later in the year. Please note that enrichment will be cancelled on this day. Jo Spencer, Vice Prinicpal 12 May 2017

Rochester visit
Friday 29th April and Monday 8th May
Over the past two weeks, the Humanities and English departments have taken 180 year 7 students to the medieval town Rochester, which is more than 800 years old. This was a chance for students to visit one of the best-known Norman cities in England. The annual trip, which now in its fifth year, seems like a rite of passage for INA students. It has given students the opportunity to discover the magnificent cathedral and dominating castle up close. Students were able to walk in the footsteps of religious pilgrims and were able to explore the ruins of the castle and castle grounds. Thank you to all the staff and parents for their support in making this a great trip for the students. Mr Woracker and Ms Coates – Humanities Teachers
Student reflections on the trip to Rochester “On Friday 28th April at 9 o’clock am, a group of students from INA went on a fascinating trip to Rochester. They went on this trip as they are studying Medieval Times. I had such an amazing. I learned so much that will definitely help me in class. I’m really glad we came here because it was fun and I had a great time” Zainab Dar “Inside the castle there are many spiral staircases. They were very hard to climb, they were all uneven and bumpy. The castle was enormous - so many rooms. We went up to the very top floor and there was this extraordinary view. At the very top you could see the all of Rochester. It was definitely something to take a few

pictures of and it is a view worth the effort of climbing up all those stairs.” Imani Ale “As we were arriving you could see the tower leaning out of the top of the city. There were many different places to visit and to look at different kind of statues. The castle was spectacular.” Raghav Dhaliwal “On Friday the 28th we visited Rochester Castle which stands on the east bank of the River Medway. In our groups we had to write a descriptive piece of writing first. And then we went to the cathedral, we discovered so many great things. After that we went inside the actual castle. It was ginormous and it looked magnificent. Overall it was a great trip, experience and fun.” Taukir Kazim “It was amazing that the castle is still standing up as it was built in 1127 and the Normal castle itself was fascinating to look at. We climbed up the spiral staircase, which was quite difficult to climb, but in the end it was worth it. On the top floor, the view was quite amazing. On this trip, I learnt a lot about people in the Middle Ages; how their lifestyles were, how religion was important to them and when it came to battle, how their tactics were linked to the castle.” Sakinah Choudhury “We even entered the church! A crypt was below us, newly open to the public of the church, if I may add. There were many other interesting things pointed out to us too, for example, the arch-shaped structure of the pillars holding up the church being repeated in other parts of Rochester. It seemed like the main architectural design of the town. After a walk through the castle, adventuring the catacombs and the dungeons, we finally made it to the gift ship. There we brought snacks to eat for lunch and a few souvenirs.” Taqi Aziz

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.

Good Deed Feed Ms Lapish: Simra Kazi 8W always holds the doors open for students coming in from line up and she does this on her own accord. She even insists on staff going through first when they offer for her to go before them. She is always very polite and happy to wait for everyone to pass through. Thanks Simra! Mr Clarke: Jay Gohil 11S – Excellent attitude in Graphics and always helps others in the class with their work. Mr Ball: Rany Alhigawi 8S – went up and down the stairs twice, helping me carrying atlases. He was more than happy to help even though it cut into his lunch time. Thank you Rany!

Justice and Fahma Mohamed
As a teenager Fahma Mohamed worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the problem of female genital mutilation (FGM), including running an online petition against FGM and visiting Downing Street to talk to the Prime Minister. In organising the campaign, Fahma demonstrated a strong sense of justice and fairness. She said ‘Young girls are irreversibly mutilated against their will and devastated mentally, emotionally and physically. The deprivation of rights over your own body can only be described as a gross violation of human rights.’ Fahma’s online petition, calling for schools to teach about the risks of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), was signed by 230,000 people. Following the campaign, the Education Secretary issued new safeguarding guidelines for schools which included specific mention of FGM and encouraged teachers to be vigilant against it. Fahma’s courageous campaign led to her being presented with the Outstanding Young Campaigner of the Year award in 2014. She continues to campaign for the rights of girls and women, saying ‘With education as our main weapon in this fight, we will end FGM once and for all.’
Justice A shared social sense of what is right and wrong.
Behaviours Thinking beyond your own interests and doing what is right for the community.
Fairness Treating people in a way to ensure equal opportunities for all.
Behaviours Treating others as you would wish to be treated. Putting yourself in other people’s shoes.

Year 11 Study Leave - Summer 2017 The exam season starts on Monday 15th May and ends on Friday 23rd June. Half term is 29th May – 2nd June. Normal lessons for all students will continue until and including Friday 12th May. From Monday 15th May until Friday 26th May all Year 11 students will be in school all day and expected to attend their normal lessons if they are not in a GCSE exam. This will include pm lessons where they have an am exam, am lessons where they have a pm exam and lessons between am and pm exams, where applicable. Morning exams Each morning exam session will start at 8am. A 30 minute revision session (usually based in the dining hall) will occur from 8-8:30. At 8.30am a free breakfast will be provided for all Year 11 students taking the GCSE that morning. Afternoon exams Each afternoon exam session will start at 1pm (following KS4 lunch). A 30 minute revision session (usually based in the KS4 hall) will occur from 1-1:30. If a student has a lesson between a morning and afternoon exam, he/she should go to the lesson but the teacher will allow him/her to study for his/her afternoon exam rather than take part in the lesson. Teachers will continue with their Year 11 lessons right up until the final exam for that subject has been taken. Once the final exam has taken place, the student coming to the lesson will be allowed to get on with independent study for up-coming exams. The teacher will supervise and ensure that there is an atmosphere conducive to private study. From Monday 5th June, there will be study leave for Year 11 students. There will be a programme of revision lessons offered in the subjects where exams have not finished. Students will be expected to attend revision sessions that apply to them (although for some students who are good at revising independently these sessions will be optional and for others an invite will be issued and they will be required to attend.) There will be signing up arrangements so that staff know who they are expecting in advance of the session. Students will sign in and out at reception. At times when they do not have a revision lesson or an exam they will be expected to leave site to go home to revise. The last exam is on Friday 23rd June. We are planning to hold a pm Year 11 assembly on that day. The Graduation Ball is on the evening of Monday 10th July. Mr Crowther-Green, Assistant Principal 12 May 2017
