Message from the Headteacher Dear Parents and carers It’s been another busy couple of weeks at Roding Valley High School. As the half-term break approaches, the Year 11s and 13s are coming to the end of their assessments to support the awarding of the Teacher Assessed Grades’. Our teaching staff have been working hard with the students to ensure that they have all had the opportunity to demonstrate the best of their ability. We have been extremely impressed with the mature and conscientious way that the students have approached these assessments. If the restrictions continue to lift as expected, then both the Year 11 and 13 cohorts will be able to have both their leavers assembly and Prom. We have also been able to have a leavers photo thanks to the photographers’ skill using a green screen; something that we hadn’t expected to be possible! Over the coming weeks, we hope that the weather will improve and that summer will arrive, after the wet weather that we have had. We are also hopeful that restrictions will continue to be lifted, and the students will be able to move around the school to their different lessons; rather than being based in one room. Students must, however, continue to carry out a Lateral Flow Test twice each week on a Sunday and Wednesday to continue to keep our school community as safe as possible. These will continue to be issued to students regularly, as we continue to carry out track and trace if anyone tests positive.

3468pts I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that students should be attending school in full school uniform or if they have PE on a particular day. They should come into school wearing their Roding Valley PE kit - no other sports kit is allowed. Furthermore, students should be wearing black leather shoes and not trainers each day except for their PE day. Please do contact their Year Progress Leader if there is a reason they haven’t got their ‘proper’ school shoes on.
3410pts Over the last few months, the year 9s have been choosing their options and considering the next steps in their 7-year journey at Roding Valley. We will confirm their final choices in the next week, and they will then start these from 14th June. We hope that this will be an exciting time for our Year 9 students, as they embark on their GCSE journey.
