Message from the Headteacher It has been wonderful to have the school fully reopen this week; and the corridors and classrooms feel full and alive! Most of our students are delighted to be back in lessons and socialising with their friends. Obviously, there are some who aren't and have found the whole experience quite overwhelming. We are offering them full our support and please do make it known to us if your child is struggling, but has not come forward or been identified. I am delighted to inform you all that Roding Valley High School, our Science department and four members of staff have been nominated in this year’s Essex Teaching Awards. Science Teacher (Challenge and Enrichment) Shetal Patel, English teacher (Ed Tech) Charlotte Bleakley, Assistant Headteacher (Teaching and Learning) Paige Larkin and Science Teacher Mohamed Ibrahim are nominated in the West Essex Secondary School Teaching Staff category. The Science department is in the running for the Essex Whole Teams (West Essex) award with its nomination highlighting the efforts of the department for going "above and beyond during the autumn term, providing exceptional home learning resources to support our students isolating at home". The Entire School nomination highlights the support given to students and parents "throughout these challenging times". The nomination adds: "The school has worked tirelessly to keep parents informed every step of the way and support students in their learning. They quickly adapted to online learning with an incredible amount of support for students and parents and continually checked in on students' welfare and mental health by providing regular phone calls home. The teachers and staff have not only excelled at continuing with the students' education but have also provided a huge amount of support and care to the students."

I am incredibly proud and grateful for these nominations which came from the parent body, fellow colleagues and students. My staff are greatly appreciative of the recognition of their efforts. The students have been brilliant whilst in school at following all of the required COVID safety routines and have been excellent with the wearing of face coverings inside the school buildings. I must, however, remind parents that we are still operating in a COVID secure way and our procedures include the adherence to staggered start and finish times. This is to reduce close contacts and the flow of students into the community.
