Our school trips were a great success and all the students had brilliant experiences. The varied age groups visited New York, went skiing in Italy and had fun in Disneyland Paris. Thank you to my committed staff who organised and supported these enrichment activities for the students.

I have been particularly impressed with our Year 11s this week, their attitude and conduct in their pre-public exams has been excellent. They appear well prepared and confident in their approach. Congratulations to Clara Rodriguez in Year 11, who recently was awarded the title of ‘Loughton’s Young Artist of the Year’ for her 3D Globe, this is the second year in a row that Roding Valley has won the title. Well done to all of the student who entered their work; some of which is pretty, some is provocative, but all is thought provoking, imaginative and unique. As part of our Character and Culture programme, we have this week, held externally led workshops for our Year 9s and 10s on gang culture and child crime exploitation. This consisted of a drama production on ‘County Lines’ and provided opportunities for student discussion and questions. This programme is currently being rolled out across all Essex schools. Please read the article further on in the bulletin for more information. The workshops were very well received and very informative for the students and teachers involved. It was a real eye opener for the students but given today’s social climate, it is a necessity that all students are aware of these risks to their safety. For further information, please see advice for parents from Essex Safeguarding Children Board http://www.escb.co.uk/parentcarer/gangs/ I would like to remind Parents that on Tuesday 12th March the school will be closed to all students’ due to a Staff Training Day
