Welcome from Co-op Academy New Islington

Dear Parents and Carers,

It was lovely to welcome parents to our first coffee morning of the year. We would really encourage as many members of our community as possible to join us for these so that we can share the good work that goes on at New Islington.

We are well underway with high quality learning across school and it has been delightful to walk around and see our pupils in class demonstrating our school rules of Ready, Respectful and Safe all week.

As always, thank you for your continued support,

Mr Berry
