Message from Mr Ryan

I thought I would start this entry in the bulletin by congratulating a number of students. I am so proud of the Year 8 football team who won the cup last week. I had the pleasure to watch the victory last Wednesday and can't tell you how pleased I am. I hope to celebrate this success for the years to come.

Bedrock Champion

I would also like to congratulate Ties Knoops for being this week's Bedrock champion.

Every week in assembly I tell the students to make sure that they are completing Bedrock at home as well as in school. Bedrock is a great tool for building vocabulary and students who have done well in their A Levels have actually said that part of the success was due to Bedrock. If there are any issues surrounding this, please let your child's academic mentor know.

Today, I received an email from Mr Bedi who wanted me to know that his Science class 8a/ScC1 were absolutely phenomenal. So well done to them!

As always, we aim to praise positive behaviour and reward what is good. There are two trips going out this term with others being planned. We have a theatre trip and a residential trip. Participation on these trips does depend on a number of factors: attendance and behaviour being two of them. We always try to give everyone a fair chance at going on these trips but it isn't always guaranteed that a place is available.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you do have any concerns please don't hesitate to contact your son or daughter's Academic Mentor in the first instance or myself (fryan@rodingvalley.net). As always, thank you for your support.
