There were 257 awards and commendations presented to students for a variety of achievements including outstanding effort, progress, attainment and attitude to learning. It was the first time that the awards evening has included students from Years 8 and 9, which made it a real celebration of Key Stage 3. It was also the first time that the Dulchar ‘Character’ Cup was presented. The award was donated in memory of Mrs Dulchar, who was the Headteacher when the school was Loughton County High School for girls, from 1972-76. Please click on link for all our worthy winners.

Just a reminder that the school is closed tomorrow, Friday 29th November to all students. School resumes at 8.40am on Monday morning as normal. As I have previously written, Mr Cheema (Deputy Headteacher) is off on compassionate leave and Ms Dyer is now the Acting Deputy Headteacher. In light of this, Mr Price (Year Progress Leader for Year 7) has been appointed as Acting Assistant Headteacher to cover for Miss Dyer and Miss Edwards has been appointed as Acting Year Progress Leader for Year 7. These changes have been introduced with immediate effect. I would like to invite parents/carers to our Parent Form on Monday 2nd December at 6 pm in Brook Library. The session will focus on the importance of online safety and will provide parents with up-to-date information on the use of social media. All parents are welcome to join us at the event and we hope to see you there! I would like to thank all those parents and carers who attended the Bingo night on Friday 15th November. This raised £487.50, which will go towards supporting the school. The next PTA event is the Quiz Night on Friday 24th January 2020, flyer is included.

It is our Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 5th December from 5-7pm. We want to encourage all our Year 11s to attend, it is a golden opportunity to discuss the A level provision on offer at the school, with both teachers and current sixth form students. Next week, the Year 13s start their PPEs which will give them a clear indication of where they are in their studies and assist their preparation for the summer exams. Year 9 also have three days of exams to help us identify the right path for them as they approach choosing their options. The school production of A Christmas Carol is taking place on Wednesday 11th December at 7pm in the Drama Studio. Christmas Lunch is on Friday 13th December, followed by the Year 10s watching A Christmas Carol performed by an external company. The school is a very busy and exciting place in the build up to Christmas; please enjoy the rest of the bulletin. Best Wishes Mrs. Jenner Headteacher

Last Friday, our Assistant Head Teacher, Ms Larkin, held a revision preparation workshop for all of our Year 9 students. In the session, students created interleaved timetables, discussed revision techniques, and shared tips on revision mindfulness.
Students were also given advice on how to cope with stressful situations and took part in a game designed to improve memory. All students left the room armed with new techniques and the confidence needed to help them conquer revision ahead of the upcoming December exams – good luck to all!

On Saturday 23rd November we had a number of our students competing in the Bar Mock Trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court. All of our pupils were exceptionally well behaved and for their great poise were approached by the organisers to help, as one of the competing schools didn’t arrive and we were asked to take their place alongside the trials we were originally scheduled to compete in. The competition was fierce, and although we did not make it to the finals, two judges expressed how impressed they were of the performances of Florence New and William Cockayne as well as all of our students who took part. Well done to all of the students that participated.
Students: Florence New, William Cockayne, Sophie Cutler, Sadie Hurley, Ivy Prutton, George Lane, Atilla Yusuf, Grace Gedeke, Jessica Overett, Isabella Marcus. Teachers: Ms Garip, Mrs Patel

This week our Year 9 students had the opportunity to watch an interactive presentation from EFYC #Consequences, the presentation provides students with the latest information and guidance to enable them to make the right choices regarding the issues facing them.

Health and Wellbeing Conference On Friday 22nd November, members of Roding Valley Student Voice and the Epping Forest Youth Council attended the Epping Civic Offices for a conference on health and wellbeing. During the course of the day, students had an opportunity to debate mental and physical health initiatives in the borough and hear from professionals employed in the health sector. Florence New, chaired a section of the conference and the council also heard from Zak Smith and Daniel Mehr in Year 10. Maisha Khondokar, Tolani Areadon, Lauren Marks and Bianca Lednecu took part in the floor debate, offering excellent points to consider when thinking about the future of health and wellbeing in Epping Forest. This was a fantastic opportunity and students did an excellent job of representing RVHS in the local community. Written by Mrs Collins-Associate Assistant Headteacher
Last night we held our KS3 Awards Evening; this is a fantastic event celebrating the achievements of our students with over 257 awards presented. This year Tolani Aradeon and Vienna Igwe were delighted to be the first ever “Character Cup� award winners.

As part of the History curriculum, students have been creating their own witch bottles. Ms Preston and Mr Cocker had the difficult task of judging winners. Frank Cullis wins 50 points for Pankhurst House for his winning design. Sam Shakespeare wins 25 points for Hawking House for his bottle as well. An amazing amount of effort was put into all the designs. Follow us on: @rodingvalleyHS @humsrvhs @rodingvalleyPE RODING VALLEY DRAMA@rodingdrama
After a week of preparations with Mr Rahman four Mathematicians, Saskia Cushings, Billy Roberts, Stan Shute and myself travelled to Queen Mary University of London to take part in the Regional Heat of the Senior Team Mathematics Challenge. The four of us travelled along with Mrs Vermaak and Mr Collins for support. The team was split into two pairs: Billy and Stan, and Saskia and me. The day was split up into three rounds. The Group Round, a set of 10 challenging questions. The Cross Number Round, a crossword but for numbers, where the two pairs have one of either the down or across questions, and answers can depend on the other pair’s answers. And the Shuttle Round, where you get four 8-minute rounds of 4 questions, where you have to pass the answer of each question to the other pair. The Group Round went amazingly. We split the ten questions into two sets of five and worked through them quite quickly. We had enough time at the end to check each other’s work, and we only made one mistake with a total of 54/60 marks, as each right answer is worth 6 marks. The Cross Number also went swimmingly. We worked very quickly in our pairs and only slowed when we needed answers from the other pair! We had an amazing score of 63/66. We had some issues with the Shuttle Round, but I believe that we worked through it as well as we could, and that our teamwork could not have been better. Saskia and Billy will focus on training for this part next year. Overall, Roding Valley High School attained 6th place, out of 30-odd schools at the competition, which is a massive jump from 19th place last year! As a treat, Mrs. Vermaak and Mr. Collins took us to Nando’s where they treated us on behalf of the Roding Valley Mathematics Faculty, for our hard work and great results! I would like to give a very big thank you, for allowing us to participate in this competition, and of course, for the food! Overall, I felt that it was a great experience. We worked really well as a team, and although the questions were sometimes challenging, they were really satisfying to solve. I believe that I speak on behalf of the entire team when I say that it was a lot of fun! Mr. Rahman has told us that year after year, Roding Valley’s place in the Senior Team Maths Challenge has improved, so the pressure is on for the next team to take up the mantle.

Message from Mr Price Congratulations to the following students for winning Loric Awards at last night’s KS3 Awards Evening.
We are rapidly approaching the end of our first term at Roding Valley. The Year 7’s are fully in to the swing of things at secondary school and it is wonderful to see all the great learning they are doing in all of their lessons.
Ruby Mace
So many of our students are taking advantage of the extracurricular programme that the school offers and for the few who do not attend one of these clubs then I fully recommend that you do. Just speak to your classroom teachers for more information. I hope you all have a lovely, long weekend.

Message from Miss Williams Our Year 9's had the invaluable opportunity to take part in a revision workshop where students were introduced to study techniques and revision skills, to help prepare them for their upcoming KS3 examinations. The morning consisted of teaching students how to best use class made notes & resources from teachers, how to plan an interleaving timetable, RVHS ‘tried and tested’ revision techniques and fun memory games to improve working memory. The day was extremely successful with overwhelming positive feedback. All of the revision materials that were shared with students on the day, will also be made available on the school website, on the ‘Revision Resources’ page. Exams and assessments provide opportunities for students to showcase their learning and find out where their strengths lie and areas in which they need to focus on and may need extra support with. Teachers have provided valuable subject-specific information for students to utilise in the lead up to exams. This can be found on ‘Show My Homework’ and ‘Google Classroom’. All students should ensure that in preparation:
They have planned and are following a revision timetable. They revise for each subject and spend some time every day revising. Little and often is the most effective technique.
They know when and where their assessments will take place. They are on time for school They speak to their teachers, well in advance of the exam, to clarify anything they are unsure about or if they are feeling anxious.
They understand the need for the highest standards of behaviour during the exams. Poor behaviour will not be accepted, and appropriate sanctions will be given if necessary. Please can we ask you to remind your son/daughter of the importance of being fully prepared and equipped for their lessons and exams. We appreciate that equipment does get broken or lost but students cannot work to the best of their ability and reach their full potential if they are not fully equipped. Equipment is available to purchase from the school shop. All students should have the following equipment:
Pens (2 minimum)
Pencil sharpener Pencils (2 minimum) Compass Highlighter pen Protractor Ruler Calculator Eraser A reading book Finally, to mention attendance. We all know how closely academic progress as well as character and resilience development, are linked to strong school attendance. Whilst we all agree that there are times when a child is simply not well enough to attend school but please continue to encourage them to come in even if they are having a bit of an off day. We will support them in school and look after them, but it does ensure that they do not miss out on crucial learning and gives them the greatest chance of success in the long term. Thank you for your continued support. Year 9 is an outstanding year group and I know they will do their very best to achieve the results they deserve. Keep working hard and good luck in you upcoming exams! Follow us on: @rodingvalleyHS @humsrvhs @rodingvalleyPE RODING VALLEY DRAMA@rodingdrama

Message from Mr Ryan It has been an excellent couple of weeks with Year 10 working hard for their assessments. I have been impressed by the work ethic that has been shown by the year group. I had the privilege on Friday to spend time with the Royal Navy and a selection of Year 10 students who were amazing. We learnt about the different food that is included in a ration pack (smart calories); Team building and leadership skills were also incorporated. There was an excellent atmosphere in the room. Some Business Studies students are working on a project to turn ÂŁ50 in to ÂŁ1500 by running a tuck shop. All proceeds are going to the Haven House trust.
I think this is a very worthwhile cause. It was lovely to see so many students at the KS3 awards ceremony last night. I was so pleased with the students as I am sure their parents are. Enjoy the long weekend!
Year 10 Basketball The basketball season has started. A combined Year 10 Basketball team from both Roding Valley High School and West Hatch High School played their first game of the season on Wednesday afternoon away at Epping St John. Having just had one training session together as well as a few newcomers to the game the combined school team won a brilliant game 38-26, with Cem ending as top point scorer in the game. There are two more games left of the league season against Ongar Academy and Davenant School, with the winner of the league going onto play a West Essex Schools Final against the winner of the Harlow School Basketball League. Well done Boys. Written by Mr Allen

Message from Miss Reed Year 11 students have now completed their first set of PPE’s and I would like to congratulate them on their efforts and conduct throughout the exam period. I understand this can be a stressful time for students however it was evident that students had prepared themselves exceptionally. School reports will go out in December where interventions will then be reviewed. Year 11 should now be thinking about the next step of their journey whether it be attending sixth form, gaining an apprenticeship or going to college. All students are in the process of having a careers meeting with our onsite careers officer. Mrs Mason also led an assembly this week giving pupils a greater knowledge of the process. I would like to encourage all students to attend the Roding Valley Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 5th December where they can gain a deeper insight into the subjects on offer to them here.
Royal Navy Workshop On Wednesday 20th November, a selection of students took part in a Royal Navy Workshop where they spent two hours completing three different activities. These tasks included Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative and Communication Skills (LORIC Skills) which students are continually working on and developing at school in preparation for their working life. Students were given an insight into life in the Royal Navy and thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Thank you Thank you to the following students who assisted with our Y12 Parents evening this week signing students in and serving refreshments to staff.
