Welcome from Co-op Academy New Islington
Dear Parents/Carers,
It's continued to be busy at New Islington during our final week of Autumn Term! Between carol services, rock concerts and Christmas dinners, there have been so many positive things going on around school as we have drawn closer to the end of term. In all instances, the children have done us proud and I would like to share some feedback from a recent visitor to the academy that we feel truly represents our whole academy:
"It was a privilege to be part of your career’s discussion/ mock interviews! I was blown away by how enthusiastic the children were to ask questions about our job roles. We had so many questions that really got us thinking. It was clear the students were really thinking about meaningful questions, with one person asking how the bank loans money to people- great curiosity!
Although some children were nervous approaching us to start their interview, they soon gained confidence. The letters were expertly written, with some being so honest and vulnerable. It was a great experience for me to be the interviewer, so thank you for the opportunity.
The school had a wonderful calm presence about it. I could see just how much the teachers respected the children, and the children respected the teachers. What a great culture you have built."
We would like to wish all of you a fantastic Winter Break and Happy New Year!
As always, thank you for your continued support,
Mr Berry
Winter Fair Thanks
