Yesterday, all schools received a letter from the Secretary of State for Education, Rt. Hon Nadhim Zahawi. With the rising Covid cases, his ambition remains to keep schools open and operating normally in the new year. He asked, that we all continue to test twice-weekly after the initial onsite test. Staff will test before returning to work on their first day.

Happy Christmas
We've made it. It has been an incredibly busy, fun packed Term but we can now say that we have completed a 3rd of the academic year. It is hard to believe that the year group has been in Roding Valley for four months! I was very fortunate to be able to go on a theatre visit with 101 of the year group to see the amazing Matilda. It was such an enjoyable experience and I can safely say that the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the slushies. It has been lovely awarding so many certificates in our end of term assembly. The year group have really been phenomenal. I would like to take the opportunity now, to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Here's to 2022
Mr Ryan – Year 7 Progress Leader
Year 8 I am so impressed by all of our Year 8's in our Inter House sports hall athletics competition. It was noted by the whole PE department that both sides of the year were by far the most engaged and the best effort shown over all the other years. This is always pleasing to hear as I know how hard our Year 8 students work. I cannot believe it is already Christmas. What an amazing term this has been! Year 8 has had so many opportunities and all the students continue to make us proud. Well done on all the hard work Year 8's continue to show throughout all of their endeavours. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope all of our year 8 community remains safe over the holidays. I hope you all have a restful and enjoyable Christmas. I look forward to welcoming all the Year 8's back on the 10th January in the new year ready to continue being the best version of yourself. Miss Fazakerley – Year 8 Progress Leader
Year 9 Wow, we have made it through a third of Year 9! Well done to all Year 9's for their hard work, determination and attitude over these past few months. I have been extremely impressed with the application of all students to their studies and I look forward to seeing this continue when we return to school in the new year. It was lovely to see so many year 9's enjoy a trip to the theatre on Wednesday to see Woman in Black. Our students behaved impeccably and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Looking into the new year, many Year 9's have been selected to visit the Natural History Museum as part of our Challenge & Enrichment program, and we also have many students heading off on the Ski Trip at the end of the half term. I encourage all our students to involve themselves in as many trips, visits, and extra-curricular opportunities as they can. Today we hosted our Virtual Celebration assembly, and it was truly amazing to see so many different students receive an award, in recognition of their hard work. Congratulations to all winners, and well done on all your effort so far this year.
Merry Christmas
I would like to wish all students in Year 9, their families, and friends the warmest of Christmas wishes and a Happy New Year. Enjoy this festive period, but please stay safe. I look forward to welcoming you all back to school at 8.30am on Friday 7th January 2022. Miss Edwards – Year 9 Progress Leader
Year 11 I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the students in Year 11 - it has been an enormously busy and eventful first term and they have risen to the challenges presented to them admirably. They have had guest speakers, a performance of Christmas Carol, revision sessions, exams, sixth form and college taster days and applications to their post 16 choices, interventions, extra sessions and many have been involved in further sporting or enrichment activities such as netball, football and Duke of Edinburgh. I would also like to say a big thank you to the Year 11 Academic Mentor team from me and on behalf of the students. The Academic Mentor Team have delivered period 7 sessions to students three times a week to help move them forwards in English, Maths or Science. Mr Rahman Ms Bleakley Mr Rahman Ms Di Ilio Mr Qureshi Ms Bates Mr Poovilingham Mr Jennings I do hope that there will be plenty of opportunity for some good times with family and friends so that students return to us fresh and ready for the new year and would like to wish you all a very peaceful Christmas and a healthy, safe New Year! Thank you for your ongoing support..
Ms Preston – Year 11 Progress Leader
Sixth Form Year 11 Taster Day It was a pleasure to work with so many enthusiastic year 11s on our taster day last week. I know it helped lots of students with finalising their subject choices and gave them a good flavour of what studying in the sixth form is like. Thank you to all those students who have taken time to apply for sixth form. We look forward to interviewing these students in the Spring Term. Some students visited a college as part of their taster day and found out how this educational environment was different to their own. They got to try out some T level qualifications and were supported with making applications. Well done to all of Year 11 for their exemplary attitude on this day.
Christmas Jumper Day On 10th December, the sixth form and staff celebrated Christmas Jumper Day. We raised £160 in aid of Save the Children.
UCAS and Careers Applications I wanted a say a huge well done to all those students in Year 13 who are working hard on university and apprenticeship applications. We have now sent off the majority of our UCAS applications and students have been really excited to receive some fantastic offers from their chosen universities. Those students who are not making a university application, are working with Mrs Mason at securing a job at some prestigious firms. If your son or daughter requires any support with university or job applications please make sure they come and see us and we will help in any way we can.
Ms Wheaton- Director of Sixth Form
Last Friday, our students celebrated Christmas with our annual Christmas dinner, served to them by Mrs. Jenner – Headteacher and Miss Dyer - Deputy Headteacher. It was a lot of fun and hard work, with food served to over 1300 students and staff.
On Friday 10 December, year 10 and 11 were treated to a performance of A Christmas Carol by The Globe Players. The show was engaging revision tool, which really brought the ideas from the story to life. As a two person show, the actors created a remarkable range of scenes. The quality of the performance was evident from our students’ appreciation of the show: they were clearly captivated by the occasion. Having the opportunity to see this production helped to capture the Christmas spirit.
Year 10 STEM Trip to Centre of The Cell This term our Year 10 students enjoyed a STEM trip to Centre of the Cell, we have included their feedback on this trip below: “The trip was spectacular. I enjoyed every minute of it, the "science nucleus video games" was ecstatic and felt so surreal ,but I think the most exciting part was the lecture segment when we learned more about the immune system. I found it enlightening because we were already studying that topic in biology, and having other people educate us was elevating”
“I really enjoyed the trip to the centre of the cell, it helped me a lot with cells and it gave me a chance to experience how it is like to work with cells. I also liked traveling to Queen Mary University as for my profession, I would like to study medicine, so this trip allowed me to enhance how university is like. Overall, I enjoyed this trip and believe it's a great way to engage in science”.
A wide range of topics were covered when Epping Forest MP Dame Eleanor Laing joined Year 12 and Year 13 students for a digital surgery on last week. Her online debate with the students followed an earlier session with Loughton Residents Association councillor Judy Jennings. Our students have been involved with the digital project over the last month and on Friday the online Politics Project initiative saw students, who were in the school’s Sixth Form Centre, raise a number of local and national issues with Dame Eleanor. Topics covered ranged from COP 26, gay marriage, the role of the Deputy Speaker, democratic engagement, the House of Lords and flooding and water supply issues in Loughton.
