Ipswich Academy delivers best ever GCSE results
With the today’s news full of GCSE results, I am delighted to be able to tell you that the students at Ipswich Academy have delivered really great results. Of the 106 students who entered, 50.9% have achieved at least a grade four or above (the old A*-C) in English and mathematics – up from 48.6% last year.
The new exam formats and marking scheme make comparison with previous years difficult, but the general consensus is that the absence of course work and the exams themselves were significantly harder than before which makes these results even more impressive.
I am delighted that the hard work of the students and staff has paid off.

Update on plans to celebrate Amanda Phillips’ life
Amanda will be buried at a private, family only ceremony in the next few weeks. Before that, Paradigm Trust will compile all the messages of condolences that it has received and present them to her family.
We will also be organising events to remember Amanda and celebrate her life and achievements for the children and adults across all the schools. We will be able to update you further as these plans make progress.

News on Amanda Phillips
It is with tremendous sadness that I have to tell you that Amanda died yesterday. While on holiday in France earlier this week, Amanda suffered a fall incurring serious head injuries which proved fatal. I know I speak for us all when I say that our thoughts and prayers are with her husband and family.
Amanda’s death is a dreadful tragedy. She led Paradigm Trust with enormous energy, tremendous skill and most of all an enduring passion to give every child an outstanding education.
She will be missed so much by everyone and we understand you will have questions – many of which we will not be able to answer yet. We are working on contingency plans and further news will be published in the Paradigm Trust website as it is available.

Chair of the Paradigm Trust Board
Non-Uniform Day – Friday 12th May
Dear parents and carers,
We would like to inform you about the upcoming event which is taking place on Friday 12th of May. We are a group of year 9 students who have been working towards a non-school uniform day to raise money for Cancer Research; we have selected this charity as we feel everyone knows of someone who has been affected by cancer.
Each student can participate by donating a minimum of £1 to the charity.
We very much hope everyone participates as we feel it is a very important cause, and hope this is the start of many more opportunities to work together as a community.
Yours faithfully,
Year 9
