Message from the Headteacher
Dear Parents/ Carers
I want to start this letter by offering my congratulations to all year 11 students, most of whom finished their GCSE exams today. There are a small number of exams that will continue over the next week or so, but for the majority of the cohort they are done. I spoke with the year group at the beginning of their final exam in Physics to tell them how proud of them I am for the way in which they have approached the exam season, and for all the hard work that they have put in over the past 5 years at Roding Valley. They now have a long summer to look forward to, starting with the Year 11 Leavers Assembly and Prom.

In my letter to all parents and carers earlier today (here) I announced that we are bringing forward the end of term for students to 19th July. This is to allow us to begin preparation for the new kitchen and catering facility that will be installed over the summer and also to allow some staff to change locations of offices and classrooms ahead of the new year. After 8 months with our new temporary buildings, we have a much clearer picture of how we want to organise the school next year to maximise the teaching and learning of all students and offer a full curriculum.

You may have read various newspaper articles over the last few weeks about the use of mobile phones in schools. The Department for Education (DfE) released guidance for schools on prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day in February of this year. In the foreword, Gillian Keegan talks about the ‘large variation in how different schools are managing the use of mobile phones. There is considerable good practice, including schools with exemplary behaviour cultures that are already implementing and enforcing tight restrictions. However, despite the best efforts of staff, in some settings, the use of mobile phones remains a daily battle.’

At Roding Valley, our Student Behaviour and Expectation Policy does permit students to bring mobile phones onto the school site, although this is discouraged. It states that ‘if students do bring mobile phones onto the school site, then they must be switched off and out of sight during the school day. Any phone that is seen on the school site will be confiscated. When a phone is confiscated, it is stored safely and securely in the School Office. On the first occasion, the phone will be returned to the student at the end of the school day. On the second or subsequent occasions, parents/carers will be expected to collect the phone on the student’s behalf.’
Given the recent updates from the DfE and increased media coverage, we are keen to open this debate to all stakeholders, and I would like to hear feedback from as many people as possible in advance of any possible changes that we make to our policy. If you would like to comment, please could you write to me at headteacher@rodingvalley.net with your thoughts on mobile phone use in school, and what you would like to see reflected in any new policy.

Year 7 News
Message from Ms Hegerty
Year 7 have returned for their last half term of the academic year with gusto! They have been engaging with our new Numeracy REPS programme in tutor time brilliantly and I have had some great feedback from tutors over student’s effort and attainment regarding this new initiative. Students were delivered an assembly centralising around ideas of Freedom and Liberty last week to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in 1944 as well as understanding how British Values are present in all of our day to day lives. Year 7 explored how British Values of Democracy, Mutual Respect and Tolerance, Rule of Law and Individual Liberty are directly applicable to them as Year 7s at RVHS with a focus on students using their own freedom and liberty for good to create positive change in their school community to accelerate their personal and academic growth in school.
Please can Year 7 ensure that they are fully prepared for learning with all the equipment they need for lessons and they always have a reading book with them for DEAR time. We are still limited with the catering facilities we have available at RVHS so we do encourage all students that are able to, to bring a packed lunch to avoid lengthy queues at break and lunchtimes (Year 7 are still able to purchase food in Zone 3 at these times).
Can I take this opportunity to remind students, parents and carers that RVHS uniform expectations must be adhered to and students will only be given uniform cards for missing items (i.e. shoes) in exceptional circumstances. In addition to this, can I remind parents and careers that toilet cards will only be given when medical evidence is provided to your son or daughter's Head of Year.
Please be aware that RVHS has a lost property in our PE Department and at Student Reception, we have had a rising number of PE kits going missing - please check at PE lost property first before coming to Student Reception - your PE teachers will be happy to help!
Our upcoming Year 7 and 8 residential trip to PGL at Caythorpe Court, Lincolnshire is fast approaching from Sunday 23rd June to Wednesday 26th June, please click here for the presentation from our Parent Information Evening with everything you need to know regarding the trip.
I look forward to accompanying some of Year 7 on their first residential trip with RVHS and hope it is a enjoyable and memorable experience for them.
Please bear in mind that our Year 7 Tutors should be your first point of contact if you have any questions or concerns with your child in school. You can find staff contact information on our website here.

Year 9 News
Message from Mr Ryan
We have now reached the end of our first two weeks of GCSE. I cannot tell you how impressive the year group have been. They are all focused and producing excellent notes and resources. Virtually every day a member of staff is letting me know how pleased they are with the students in their classes. There are, as always, a few teething issues, some students have realised that the subject they have picked isn't really for them. What we have told the year group is to wait a couple of weeks and then let me know. Once the request has been made we will then look to see if we can make suitable changes. I can't guarantee that these will be made but we will definitely see what we can do.
As always Bedrock and Sparx maths need to be mentioned. It is vital that these are completed as they really do help the students in their GCSEs. Our Bedrock champion last week was Oliver K – 9Li
In relation to behaviour: I have to make people aware that the astro at lunch is just for a 'friendly kick about'. There should be no aggressive football. Also, you are only allowed on the pitch in the correct footwear. Students also need to be reminded that there is no need to 'lay hands' on each other, for any reason. Finally, in assembly last week I let the year group know that any student who decided to waste time between lessons would be given an automatic detention. I have barely seen any students out of lesson without a good reason.
This week was house week and it was lovely to see the posters that were being produced for Sports' Day. I believe the sign-up sheet for different events will soon be available.
Finally, I would just like to mention one student who has stood out as making the most change over the past week and that is Zahid E – 9Ne Well done!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s Academic Mentor in the first instance.

Record number of applicants for Head Prefect role
We had 34 students from year 12 put themselves forward for the role of Head Prefect. We are so proud of every student that applied. Many of them put themselves far outside their normal comfort zone. Six members of staff oversaw round one: a fishbowl activity to decide which 10 students should go forward to interview. This was incredibly tight and a very hard task for the staff involved to make this decision. All students should feel very proud of their efforts in the process, whether or not they made it through to round two.
Our new student executive team to congratulate are:
Head Prefects:
Jasmine Singh
Louis James

Essex County Schools Athletics Championships
On Saturday 8th June the Essex Schools District Athletics Championships was held for students in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 at Melbourne Park, Chelmsford. For the second year running Roding Valley had three students competing for the West Essex and Harlow District. It was a mixed day of results with Tyleah unfortunately missing out on qualifying for the 75m hurdles, Oscar finishing 4th in the 3000m in what was the first time he had competed in that event and Zoe who cruised to the 200m final, to then go and produce a personal best time of 26.02secs to win the 200m final and become Essex Champion! An incredible achievement! Zoe will go on to represent Essex in the Nationals later on this term.
Mr Allen would like to thank all the students involved for their fantastic effort and dedication to represent the school, compete for the district and give up their Saturday to attend this event.
Year 10 Cricket Team
Year 10 – Zoe H – 200m
Year 10 – Oscar E – 3000m
Year 8 - Tyleah E - 75m Hurdles
The Year 10 Cricket team won the Essex County Schools Tier 2 tournament on Wednesday 5th June at Billericay Cricket Club.
The team played Lammas in the semi-final, in the first game of the day winning that match with a great batting, bowling and fielding display and moved onto the final against St Thomas Moore.
Bowling first the year 10 team restricted the opposition to just 55 runs in their 10 overs with some excellent bowling, however, their batting didn't mirror the excellent work with the ball as they struggled to score the winning runs until the final ball of the match.
Well done to all the boys who were involved in this finals day, they have come so close on previous occasions so it is a huge achievement to win this tournament and be Essex Schools Tier 2 champions.
Well done to both the U13 and U15 boys Tennis Teams last week. They played some really competitive games and individual moments of brilliance during each of the different matches.
