I am delighted to welcome you to our final edition of this academic year. We have had a busy few final weeks! We have had students embarking on exciting trips. Over the last weekend our Year 12 History students went to visit Berlin. A huge thank you to Ms Priestley and Mr Smith for organising this trip and giving their time to providing this fantastic experience.

There was a high level of tension at the start of the week as we help our very first INA Bake Off competition! Our chef Mr Illes, Ms Mayet and Mr Singh were selected as judges and ranked the competitors on the aesthetics and taste. The winning team was Kareen, Simran L, Avni & Milan with their rainbow cake. We are delighted that students raised a total of £180 which will be donated to the WWF charity. See pictures from the Bake Off competition in this newsletter.

Four Year 12 students have travelled to Phillips Exeter Academy in Boston to begin their Summer School Programme. I am really excited to be joining them for a brief visit over the summer break to learn more about developing Harkness further in the Sixth Form. A huge thank you to Mr Griffin, our Chair of Governors for funding these exceptional opportunities.

We have also marked the close of the academic year by holding a results afternoon. Thank you to all the parents and carers for joining us for this event. As highlighted, we hope that the summer will be a useful time to reflect on final choices for university applications, or apprenticeship applications. We are very excited to see you through the final steps towards achieving your goals and aspirations, but success will required utilising the BRIDGES characteristics we hope to cultivate as a community.

Finally, we celebrated the many individual successes of this year in our end of year Awards Evening. Many thanks to Ms Mayet and Ms Patel for leading this event. Pictures and the award winners are included in this edition. Our sixth formers led their very own Oscars Awards on Thursday to celebrate their first year at INA Sixth Form. A write up of the event is included in this edition. I wish you all a wonderful summer break. Please use the time wisely! We encourage students to develop the super curricular passions by listening to podcasts, attending lectures, reading around the subject and of course, discovering exciting parts of London through the INA Sixth Form Selfie Challenge!

I look forward to seeing you back in September and welcoming in our new cohort of Year 12 students following enrolment on GCSE Results Day.

With best wishes,

My Education Journey...Q&A with Adeel Hussain, Recruitment & HR

Q: Which A levels did you study?A: Maths, Accounting and Economics. I was good at maths and I wanted to do accounting at university. Economics seemed the most relevant to the other two subjects.

Q: Which universities did you apply to, and why?A: BPP, Westminster, Kingston and Brunel. I chose these because I wanted to stay within London, but also, for the course I wanted to do, they were the best.

Q: Which university did you actually go to? Why? A: Brunel, it was the best out of the universities, so I made it my firm choice and when I got the grades for it, I went.

Q: Which degree subject did you choose? Why? A: Finance and Accounting. I was planning to become an accountant, but then in my second year I decided I didn’t want to become an accountant as I couldn’t see myself doing it long-term. So, I was awarded with an HND (Higher National Diploma) in Accounting, (having completed that two-year course) but then I moved to Sunderland University (London campus) and completed a final year there to gain a BSc in Business Management. This gave me more options, so I could have gone into Marketing, Accounting or HR.

Q: What was the best thing about doing that course at Brunel?A: It was quite thorough in terms of what they covered. Also, it gave me the intellectual rigour to access the whole academic field.

Q: What was/were the best thing/s you did outside your studies while you were at university?A: I made a good group of friends and we used to enjoy playing pool and trying out different places to eat in Uxbridge. We also studied together, which was nice.

Q: Is there a decision you made that you are particularly happy about in retrospect?A: It was good that I transferred to Sunderland University, because I was able to do an internship in HR there after I graduated. It gave me the first step in my career.

Q: Is there a decision you made that you regret in retrospect?

A: I should have done a maths degree, because I really enjoyed maths. I did Accounting at GCSE and that was when the decision was made, but I had no real idea about it as career. I might even do a maths degree in my own time because I think I would enjoy the course.

Q: What message would you want the INA Sixth Form students to take away from your experience?

A: Really think about what you want to do at university. Do the research - look at the career prospects, read blogs, speak to your teachers and Ms Joy – so that you have a better chance of making the right decision. Also, even if at university you feel like you made the wrong decision, it’s not too late. Your degree is valuable for what it shows people about your intellectual ability – it won’t dictate your future career. Keep it general if you aren’t sure. Get work experience - in anything - but ideally in the field you want to pursue. Look out for things like summer internships – be proactive!

And a very special thank you to Ibraheem Bhaijee for presenting the Oscars with Keanna.

My day at CBREWritten by Annie Nadeem, Year 12

My day at CBRE was very interesting as they introduced us to property and commercial development and the different fields we can go into within the built environment sector. The day involved three different kinds of workshops. The first one was getting a tour of the place, seeing what the offices were like and asking questions of the people who worked there. They gave us more insight on what the company does, and what kinds of responsibilities the workers hold.

The second workshop was linked to construction as we had to build the tallest tower using marshmallows and spaghetti sticks, which was fun as we had to be creative. The third workshop was the commercial workshop where we had to sell a brand that we were given to the investors. This was interesting as we got to learn more about the way retailers keep their business going and how leases work; as well as learning the best way to get investors to invest in your brand.

We also had talks from the senior director and the chairman who gave us an insight on their jobs and the kind of projects they have worked on. Overall the day was great as I learnt a lot about property development and how construction firms work with a lot of other people such as architects, as well as being able to engage in interesting activities to give me an insight on what it would be like to work at a company like CBRE.

Sixth Form Shout OutsThe students below have received shout outs from INA staff:

Engineering Summer SchoolWritten by Reuben Harris, Year 12

Last week I went to an engineering summer school at London Metropolitan University for a week. I was delighted to have gotten a place and was surprised to not only see people from around the UK but from all over the world including places like France and Greece come over for the summer school, making this experience a fantastic social, as well as academic, experience. The course I was on mainly revolved around robotic Engineering and learning about the mechanical and electrical components of engineering. I’ve been looking into doing these two strands of engineering so it was incredibly useful for me. What we did was really fun, and I learnt a lot of new things including coding and how to physically build a robot as well as learning to use a lot of different software. We were in groups, as engineers do generally work in groups, which were really helpful because we were able to achieve so much in a short amount of time.

Going to the summer school gave me a taste of university life; we were all treated like university students. We did things like take part of societies as part of normal university life: such as the debating society where we were able to participate in a debate with other students – both undergraduate and post-graduate – on the motion ‘Men should pay for the first date’; the sports society where we got to have a kick around; and the music society where I got to go on the radio.

The lunches were quite nice I must add, not just the food though! As an A-level history student I was surprised to find most of my lunch times were occupied having discussions about History with my fellow engineers. We were also taught about aspects of university life we often forget like finance, as well as having useful information given to us on our UCAS applications which I found really helpful. At the end we had to present what we had learnt to an audience which was great for improving my confidence because in the future I will have to present ideas if I want to be an engineer.

Overall this was most than just an engineering summer school, I learnt about all aspects of what university will be like, and this was useful for me as now I have a clearer idea of what I want to do with my future.

Taylor Wessing Insight DayStudent Reflections (Part 2)

I thoroughly enjoyed the day at Taylor Wessing as it gave me an insight into the life of someone who works in a leading law firm. I learnt that there is more to a law firm than just solicitors and paralegals, people from all sectors can work there. This has made me consider pursuing a career at a law firm.

I would like to thank all the volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules to teach us, and a special thanks to Rosie Waters for preparing the useful presentation on CV writing and interview tips, even though she was not able to deliver it herself.

Naym Rahman - Year 12

The Taylor Wessing Insight day was a great trip which helped inform the path that I would like to take. The CV workshop was the main part of the day which interested me. They told us about the skills and format we need to write a CV that will get us recruited by a law firm. Overall it was a great day and a very valuable experience.

Amir Chergui - Year 12

I enjoyed this experience which was fun and educational. We had different sessions in which we learnt about the firm itself, and were also helped with general skills such as how to write a good CV and interview skills. We also had mock interviews.

My favourite part of the day was the debate at the end of the day where a lawyer helped us form our arguments. I also found the questioning of the employees helpful as it taught me that there are routes after A levels that do not require you to attend university but which still allow you to work at a top law firm.

Aafreen Khaliq - Year 12

Morgan Stanley Work Placement WeekStudent Reflections (Part 2)

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Morgan Stanley. It was an informative and eye-opening week that I found to be extremely helpful. Despite its professional atmosphere, I never once felt uncomfortable and found that they staff treated all sixteen of us as young adults who were capable of making individual choices rather than a group of students who needed to be directed.

I am grateful that I was offered such a unique opportunity to see the inside of the world’s top investment bank and to gain insight into how it operates. In the future, I would like to keep in contact with the staff at Morgan Stanley who made this work experience special for me.

Rutina Caldeira - Year 12

During the week, we were introduced to leaders of all of the services that Morgan Stanley offers its clients, so that we, as students, would be able to make an informed decision about our career path. They answered all of our questions, gave us honest advice and the availability to stay in contact. We gained an in-depth look at the day to day workings of an investment bank and how the various divisions all functioned together to help the client achieve their aims.

Thank you to Morgan Stanley and to everyone who took time out to speak to us. Particular thanks to Tarun and Sejal for being our points of contact, and helping to facilitate, the whole experience.

Arjun Sharma - Year 12

During my time at Morgan Stanley I had the privilege to be a part of a week of work shadowing at the leading investment bank in the world. I had an amazing time where I found out that there is a role available for everyone at Morgan Stanley. Some of the main things that stood out to me were the core values of Morgan Stanley such as doing the right thing, leading with exceptional ideas and giving back - which are values that I stand true to.

Finally, I got to meet many people and find out their educational journey which has helped inform me of what route I should take. This week helped me greatly and has increased my interest in the investment banking industry so that I hope to work there one day. After this week I have a much better understanding of the different roles and responsibilities – the area that most attracts me as a future career is to work on the trading floor.

During the week we had sessions in small groups in which we found out about how people got into the various fields within the company; and were also given valuable advice about life skills, including CV writing. Two keys skills that were emphasised were listening skills and networking. I found the experience really helpful in deciding what paths I could take after A levels.

Reece Claire - Year 12

Experience Cambridge - EngineeringWritten by Reuben Harris, Year 12

Last week I was invited to Cambridge Experience which was a day where I got to find out what it would be like to study at Cambridge. The subject I went for was Engineering and, as Cambridge teaches Engineering in a more general format, I was informed about all nine strands of engineering. It was enjoyable as I got to meet people from across the country who are interested in the same subjects as me, and we were able to discuss how we are finding our subjects as we all do similar A levels, so it was useful to see that it’s not just us at INA stressing about our studies!

I got to learn how engineers are changing the world and solving the world’s problems - which is definitely something I’m excited to be a part of. During the day I attended sessions/lectures hosted by professors who conveyed to us why engineering is taught in a general format at Oxbridge, which is because all strands of engineering are needed in our everyday lives. Did you know your mobile phone required nine types of engineering for it to be developed?

The professors showed how all the strands of engineering are linked through wind turbines so the professor for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering etc all used wind turbines to show how we use their strand of engineering is linked. It was useful because I have a rough idea of what strand of engineering I want to do for my degree, however attending this day allowed me to see first-hand how different types of engineering are used and in some cases (like for information engineering) what they actual entail.

I enjoyed the mechanical engineering part the best, where we got to actually make a wind turbine and test it, and although my group did not have the best looking turbine, ours was the most efficient and powerful so we won! The day was really useful because I got useful information on the application process for Oxbridge universities as well as advice for my UCAS application. I really enjoyed the day, and despite it not being my first time in Cambridge I was still stunned by the world class facilities that are available there, and the enjoyable and very classy day they gave me.

Experience Cambridge - EngineeringWritten by Reuben Harris, Year 12

On Tuesday 10th July, five students accompanied by Mr Simpson attended a Mathematical Problem Solving Day at the Centre of Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University. We enjoyed learning about the role of Maths in sport and had fun participating in a problem-solving workshop with other groups of students, where we learnt about modular mathematics and how to approach problems differently.

We learnt about number theory and, amongst other challenges, were asked the following: Do we need a 1p coin in our currency system? What effect would it have if we were to remove it? Answering these questions proved to be a valuable insight into number theory in which we learned to utilize a technique called ‘Modular Arithmetic’.

We also learnt proofs that we can integrate into our math lessons, such as multiple proofs for Pythagoras’ Theorem - we all found this very interesting.

Below is one of the questions we were tasked to solve.

Imagine a three dimensional version of noughts and crosses where two players take it in turn to place different coloured marbles into a box.

The box is made from 27 transparent unit cubes arranged in a 3-by-3-by-3 array. The object of the game is to complete as many winning lines of three marbles as possible.

How many different winning lines are there?

Can you adapt the methods to give a general formula for any size cube?

If you are intrigued by the problem and would like to know the answer, do ask Unais Ahmed, Imtiyaz Miah, Umair Malik, Rawdah Hosenee or Rajveer Kaur.

Clinical Psychology Talk, UCLWritten by Aliena Ali, Year 12

I was one of the students who attended the psychology talk about what clinical psychology is about and the structure of the course in university. I thought it was really interesting , especially when both of the trainee clinical psychologists, Kamilla and Daniel, gave us an overview of their career paths. This gave me an idea of what to expect if I want to pursue this career myself.

I found out that you can change the area of specialism, which means I could commit to different strands of clinical psychology and interacting with different people throughout my training. I now know that the knowledge I would gain from my university studies will be useful when it comes to helping people suffering from mental health conditions such as depression.

I was happy to hear that you can work in so many different environments, (e.g. hospitals, prisons and schools) this would ensure that I would never get bored.

We all appreciated the effort made by Kamilla and Daniel in coming out to the school to speak to us. We learnt a lot, so thank you so much – we hope to see you another time!

Summer Schools 2018

In September 2008 the Great Financial Crisis, triggered by the collapse of Lehman brothers, shook the world. A decade later its spectre still haunts us. As the appalling scope and scale of the crash was revealed, the financial institutions that had symbolised the West’s triumph since the end of the Cold War, seemed - through greed, malice and incompetence - to be about to bring the entire system to its knees. In this talk Adam Tooze will talk about his new book, Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World.

Crashed is an analysis of what happened and how we were rescued from something even worse - but at a price which continues to undermine democracy across Europe and the United States. Gnawing away at our institutions are the many billions of dollars which were conjured up to prevent complete collapse. Over and over again, the end of the crisis has been announced, but it continues to hound us - whether in Greece or Ukraine, whether through Brexit or Trump. Click here for more information.
