“Our vision is to be the school of choice for our local community, developing successful young people with high aspirations, who show respect for all and endeavour to become the very best that they can be.”
RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect Endeavour Week ending: Friday 24th May 2019 Message from the Head of School It has been a very calm and purposeful end to this half term. The external exams have been going really well and the students continue to be incredibly focused and very positive. On Thursday evening, we held the launch night for the KS3 Challenge and Enrichment Project. It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic students with unique and imaginative ideas. Due the evening’s success, we would like to extend the invitation to take part, to all pupils in Year 7 and 8. To participate, students would need to create a project for display, on any topic they are passionate about and include a 500 word evaluation of their research and creation process. Some previous projects have included: a model solar system, a Tour De France inspired map (complete with spinning bicycle wheel) and a model of Turing’s Morse code machine. Then on Thursday 20th June, the projects will be displayed in the School Hall and judged by the Mayor of Loughton and the School Governors. There is also the chance to win four different prizes! This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to demonstrate their passion and creativity as well as encouraging independent learning and research. If you would like more information please email: Miss Errington (zerrington@rodingvalley.net) or Miss Bingham (kbingham@rodingvalley.net). Please note that the Year 10 exams start on the 10th June, details have been emailed separately. Can I also remind Year 10 parents to return their slips for the ‘Take your child to work’ day to Mrs. Mason as soon as possible. Assemblies this week have focused on ‘Student Leadership’ opportunities. The newly appointed Head Boy, Sam Copeman and Head Girl, Maisha Khondokar, introduced themselves and their senior team to the students, laying out their aspirations for the roles and what they hope to achieve for the school. They also introduced the new House Captains, who led their first House assemblies. I strongly believe in student voice and the success of the House system, hence, we have decided to extend these leadership opportunities through all the age groups. We have invited applications from all years to be one of the first ever House Leaders, this will give students a voice from every House in every year. This is a great opportunity for students to meet new people and work closely with other students from different year groups. Please do discuss this exciting opportunity with your child and support them to complete the short application form via the student intranet. https://studentintranet.rodingvalley.net/
