Message from the Headteacher
Dear Parents/ Carers,
It’s fast approaching the end of another really busy and productive term for us at Roding Valley High School. We have now come to the end of our pre public examination period for our Year 11 and 13 students and we have been very impressed with the mature attitude displayed by these cohorts towards their exams. Our Year 11 and 13 students are fully aware that the run up to the exam period is now certainly upon us, and that every minute spent with their subject teachers is crucial learning time.
For all Year 11 parents, you will see that a letter recently went out regarding preparation for the exam season, with a timeline for all events related to Year 11. If you want to see this letter, please click here. Ms Wheaton will shortly be writing to Year 13 parents to outline similar plans.
Since the last bulletin, you may have also seen that we opened our brand new building; the Forest Building. The building was officially opened by Barbara Cohen, the Loughton Mayor. She gave a short speech and cut a ribbon to mark this occasion for us. Our students and staff are really enjoying the new, spacious classrooms.
It’s also been a busy time in relation to Personal Development in school. Last week, our Year 11 cohort participated in a ‘Drop Down Day’ where they took part in sessions ranging from relationships to finances. Lots of our Year 11 students commented on how useful some of these sessions were to prepare them for life after school. Some of our Year 10 students were also given the opportunity, towards the end of last week, to engage in the Jack Petchey ‘Speak Out’ Challenge. I really look forward to seeing how we progress in this public speaking competition.

As you are all aware, high standards of school uniform has been a continual drive for us in school. Next week, Mr Price, Assistant Headteacher, will be speaking to all students about the expectations around PE kit, when worn in school for PE days.
I am concerned that the standard of PE kit being worn is slipping in some year groups, and that it is being worn on days when students are not participating in PE, and on occasions has reflected a less positive culture in academic lessons. Last year, when we surveyed our students, they voted overwhelmingly to continue wearing PE kit on PE days and it would be a shame for the minority to spoil this for the majority. There will be a letter sent to parents with a reminder of these expectations and the days that their child should wear their PE kit. I really want to ensure that we maintain these standards and I thank you in advance for your support with this.
It is also a good opportunity to launch our ‘Preloved’ uniform website. This website gives parents & carers the opportunity purchase our school uniform and PE kit at a discounted price and is also great for the planet. Please click on the link below to access it:
https://app.uniformd.co.uk/items/245
Lastly, I wanted to thank all parents and carers for your continued support. I really hope that you enjoy the rest of this bulletin.
Kind regards
Mrs Jenner Headteacher

Message from Mr Ryan
It was an absolute pleasure to take a group of students to see Manchester City vs Newcastle last weekend. Although we had an early start, it was a smooth journey to Manchester. For the second time we have managed to get ourselves on TV watching the match (see the proof below!) The students represented the school well wherever we went with members of staff receiving compliments on the good behaviour from members of the public.
As with all school trips, we aim to take as many students as possible on as wide a selection of trips as possible. I would always remind students that their attendance and behaviour record is taken into account when looking at the final lists of students on a trip.
I have had quite a few conversations with parents about their child's progress in relation to their reports. What I would suggest is that if you have any queries surrounding these reports that you contact either the class teacher directly or myself. Our emails can all be found on the school website or edulink.

Year 9 News
Message from Miss Fazakerley
It is hard to believe another two weeks of this year has passed, the time seems to be flying by, particularly on the lead up to our options.
Unfortunately, the weather has not been as warm as we would like it to be, so just a reminder to make sure you are coming to school in warm and dry clothes as we cannot always guarantee that students will be inside all day. Please know that our expectation is that students remove their hoods/hats on entry to the school buildings and they should not be left up when inside.
We have lots of opportunities for the Year 9s coming up, on the lead up to their options. Please make sure that we are grabbing these opportunities with both hands. Attending the extra-curricular clubs and ensuring to get the most out of the Roding Valley High School journey.
Year 9 students will have received a letter regarding the Andorra Ski Trip for next February Half Term, if this is something you are interested in please let me know. All payments can be made on parent pay and the letters can be found on the school website.
Our Year 9 girl’s rugby team attended the U14's Rugby tournament at Robert Clack School. Coming third in their second ever time playing rugby was incredible. The passion and effort these students always bring to sports fixtures never ceases to amaze me. Player of the day going to Evie Ward!
As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact academic mentors or myself (jfazakerley@rodingvalley.net)

Law Day - Mayors and City of London Court, Guildhall Buildings
On Thursday 9th March 2023 we took a group of year 12 students to experience a life in the day of a lawyer. His Honour Judge Hellman and His Honour Judge Saunders spoke of their experiences of being a solicitor and a barrister and now a Judge in court. Their individual and different pathways into the career.
The law trip gave us the opportunity to meet two judges who provided a useful insight into what it is like to be a judge and how to pursue a career in law. The case study at the end also allowed us to experience what it is like to argue a case in a real court
Harry
The law trip was quite useful as I got to hear the first-hand experiences of two judges. Through them I have gained a better insight on what it takes to have a career in law and what possible routes I could take -
Zahra
The law trip on the 9th of March was an extremely interesting experience. The opportunity to ask current judges questions about their journey to getting to where they are, from solicitor or barrister, was invaluable. This trip was very helpful in supporting my choices and pathway for the future - Keira

Emmanuel College Cambridge Trip
On Wednesday 8th March 2023, we took a group of year 12 students to visit Emmanuel College in Cambridge. As part of the itinerary for the day, they were able to explore one of the university colleges with a guided tour from a current student, gain insight into what life is like at a prestigious collegiate university and they were given the opportunity to ask questions to a student who attends Cambridge University.
• We were given plenty of information about the admissions process and the college life at Cambridge, along with really useful insight into the career paths that stem from the courses available. Doing a Q&A with current students definitely made me more comfortable and familiar with the student life there. Furthermore, we had a lovely tour of the Emmanuel College, which really allowed me to imagine myself living there as a university student – Tuna
• I greatly appreciated the opportunity to visit Emmanuel College. It was an insightful experience into the life of a Cambridge collegiate student. I believe that the visit will be key in my decision making when deciding which universities to apply to in year 13. I am grateful to have been gifted this opportunity and hope that one day I might attend Emmanuel College as a student myself – Gideon
• The visit to Emmanuel College, Cambridge University, was a highly insightful and useful experience. We began the day with an introduction to Cambridge University itself and what makes it special, before promptly being taken on a tour of Emmanuel College. The tour was very informative and we were allowed to ask questions to the students guiding us, which was extremely helpful. Lunch took place soon after, and there was then a debate/discussion about climate change which I learnt a lot about from just this experience, combining both English skills and general knowledge in this way. Lastly, there was a Q&A with one of the current students, and from this I gained a lot of knowledge due to the fact that many helpful questions were raised, particularly concerning application to the university – Keira
• We started the day with a tour of the college grounds, being shown beautiful buildings such as the chapel and undergraduate accommodation, alongside study areas and dining halls. Following this, we were given the chance to take part in a seminar experience about climate change, which encouraged everyone to debate and get involved to promote their views. We were also given valuable information on super curriculars, and a Q and A with a Cambridge student, where we received information on student life, the admissions process, and choosing universities - Amy
Another successful house week, looking at our word of the week this week which is Collaboration it has been brilliant to collaborate with the Science Department this house week and create some activities for the students to engage with throughout science week. Students having the opportunity to vocalise their journeys at RVHS and share wisdom and knowledge with one another regardless of being at the beginning or end of that journey.
Some really exciting opportunities on the rise across the school from music competitions to baking edible gifts. It was really nice to see all pupils across all ages conversing and sharing stories with one another. Another brilliant opportunity for pupils to raise competitions and activities they want to take place and for house leaders and captains to facilitate these! - Exciting times ahead!
Well done to a much changed RVHS Y9 football team who won 4-2 in the league despite being behind twice in the game!
Goals: Kevin, Tom and Blu (x 2)
A huge congratulations to our U14’s team who won 6-3 against their opponents in our Sisters in Sport cup game – now on to the next round!
Over 1000 students and their families attended our annual Careers Fest last Thursday.
Over 65 exhibitors including local and national employers from private and public sector organisations, as well as Institutes, Universities and Colleges joined us. Throughout the event the exhibitors provided a huge range of information and advice to students about future careers and pathway choices. Some of our Year 11 and Year 13 students received advice about current apprenticeship vacancies and how to apply, some even have interviews pending. In the past our Year 13 students have achieved employment by attending this event.
It was nice to see so many of our alumni students join us this year and represent the companies they are now employed by. Having chosen the apprenticeship route they are all now employed by these companies in apprenticeships and sponsored degree programmes which they applied for after attending a previous Careers Fest.
Students and parents that attended, I hope you will agree it was a hugely successful event, even though it was very crowded at times!
A very special thank you goes to The Hill Group for once again sponsoring the Careers Fest over 14 of our students have been employed at Hill on the degree apprenticeship route. It was so nice to see some of them sharing their experiences with students.
Dear Parents/Carers
If you are seeking further information about Post 16/Post 18 Options, please remember to take a look on the Careers Microsite
Latest College Open Day dates are published as well as lots of careers information on the weekly bulletin.
Here is this week's Accelerated Reader update…
After the frantic quizzing of the past few weeks, it seems to have been a week for reading books rather than adding to word counts for many of you. Nevertheless, some classes have made impressive gains. 7b/Lb1 continue their spell at the head of the AR table, but once again 7b/Lb2 continue to narrow their lead at the top. Meanwhile, 7b/Lb4 remain in the race for top spot.
In mid-table 7a/Lb2 have suddenly opened up a 700,000 word gap to consolidate their 4th place in the league. Can 7a/Lb1 and 7a/Lb3 respond by adding to their scores this week?
Well done, as ever, to our top 5 readers. Also, special mention goes to 7a/Lb4, who have improved their word count by 59% this week - a fine effort!
Top tip: remind your period 6 teachers about DEAR time this week - use this time effectively to complete your books, fill out your reading passports and then complete your next AR quizzes.
A selected group of students were able to participate in a great workshop session provided by 'Resilience Journey's'.
They were in small groups and discussed County Lines, drugs, knife crime and much more. Following discussion, they had an escape room style activity based on Prison Life and Release
A thoroughly memorable experience for them all.
Congratulations to the following students for their fantastic work in Literacy and during Drop Everything and Write (DEAW)

Medical and Dental Appointments
All non-urgent medical appointments should be made outside of school hours. However, when this is not possible please remember, your child can sign in and out around the appointment. There is no need for them to miss out on a whole day at school. This way, in some cases, it can mean a child will not miss out on a morning or afternoon session mark, meaning their attendance percentage will not be effected.
If you would like further information regarding attendance please see our Attendance Policy here
If you have any attendance concerns or queries please contact your child’s Year Progress

Make sure they know that if they ever feel worried, they can get help by talking to you or another adult they trust.
Help your child identify trusted adults who can help them if they are worried: This includes you and other adults at home, as well as adults from wider family, school or other support services who they are able to contact at this time. Encourage them to draw a picture or write a list of their trusted adults.
Be non-judgemental: Explain that you would never blame them for anything that might happen online, and you will always give them calm, loving support.
Talk about how their online actions can affect others: If your child is engaging with others online, remind them to consider how someone else might feel before they post or share something. If they are considering sharing a photo/video of somebody else, they should always ask permission first.
Parental controls: Make use of the parental controls available on your home broadband and any internet enabled device in your home. You can find out more about how to use parental controls by visiting your broadband provider’s website.
Direct your child to age appropriate information about relationships and sex: It’s natural for young people to start exploring their sexual feelings online and adolescents are more inclined to take risks. It’s important to understand this and to talk to your child in a positive way. Thinkuknow, Brook, The Mix and Childline all provide age appropriate information about relationships and sex that you can signpost your child to.
Make sure they know about CEOP: Young people can report a concern about grooming or sexual abuse to CEOP at www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/ and get supp specialist Child Protection Advisor.
