6th Form News

Firstly, I would like to extend a “Well Done!” to all Year 13 students who have been taking their second round of PPEs over the last fortnight. Students have been really mature in their approach to these and I know the feedback they receive will be invaluable in preparing them for their exams in May.

Secondly, our Year 12 students are entering the part of the year when we start to consider their plans for after sixth form. In the next fortnight we will be running two extended assemblies to educate students on applications to universities and higher level apprenticeships.

It is really important that all year 12s are engaging with the opportunities in the sixth form bulletin every week.

If your son/daughter wishes to apply to university, it is time to start looking at open days to attend so they can explore which institutions and courses they are interested in. The following website can be helpful with planning this: https://www.opendays.com/

Have a great weekend

We have a strong sense of community here at Roding Valley and this was evident in our most recent nonuniform day as we all came together as a school to raise a whopping £1591.96. The intention of this was to raise money for the earthquake that unfortunately took place in Turkey and Syria recently.

It was wonderful to witness all pupils and staff getting together in such a short turn around to contribute to a good cause, to help people out at a time in need. There was a real positive atmosphere at the Brook Road gate as pupils made their way into school donating their change into our house bucket system! I think it is important to recognise the efforts and contributions made by all students and how this is going to make a change for someone, somewhere, and what an incredible process to be a part of. Let's also congratulate all those students in Murray house who led the way by raising £342.29 but all other houses were impressively close. Valiant effort from each and every member of the RVHS community.

With house week slowly approaching on the week commencing 13th March, we are looking forward to students collaborating and further developing the camaraderie we have here at RVHS. Students will be working together on a personal development task which is a politics taster session focusing on elections, giving the students an opportunity to collaborate together and express their opinions on given matters. House week this time is in collaboration with science week which brings another exciting opportunity for pupils to engage in a science related house competition.

Vertical Tutoring is a brilliant opportunity for students to share their experience and wisdom with one another as their journeys continue here at RVHS with some of our students right at the beginning of it and others who are almost finished.
