Message from the Headteacher Thank you for all your continued support during this very different Spring term. It has been a very positive reopening and our students have been so happy to be back in the classrooms with their teachers. It does seem strange to be finishing for Easter break when we seem to have just returned. However, it is a very timely break for many of our students, especially the younger ones, as they are showing signs of fatigue and some have found the experience of being back on a site with 1500 other people quite overwhelming. Students need to refamiliarise themselves with school routines and the etiquettes of socialising. The vast majority of students have made the transition back to school fairly seamlessly. However, I am aware that this is not the case for everybody. If you do need to access some additional support for your child the Young Minds website has some excellent support and resources. We have also listed a number of useful links on our own website in the wellbeing section here. As Miss Dyer always says in her communication, we are all only an email away, so do not hesitate to contact us if you need help or support with anything. We also have the dedicated email address for students iamnotok@rodingvalley.net. I had the pleasure to attend all the Key Stage 3 Celebration Assemblies this morning to award the Headteacher’s Awards. I was blown away by the sheer number of positive nominations, by subject areas, to celebrate the fabulous work of our students. Our Year Progress Leaders work tirelessly to support and motivate their year groups. It was an incredibly positive start to the day and all the nominations and winners are included in this bulletin. The students were so engaged and involved with their Academic Tutors. Well done to every single student who participated in the assemblies or was awarded! It is wonderful that the school is back open and that the students can now re-engage with their friends but it is also really important that we do not forget that the rest of the community remains in lockdown. The school continues to operate under a full safety COVID plan which is on our website- click here. At this present time, the government has not issued any changes to the ruling around the wearing of face-coverings, so I expect the wearing of face-coverings in classrooms to continue next term. This may change when the Prime Minister makes his next announcement. The students are fully applying themselves to our safety routines in school but unfortunately, we are hearing about incidents out in the community on their travel to and from school. Please discuss with your child that they should not be going to Sainsbury’s (not essential shopping), congregating in groups in the high street or at the
