Message from the Headteacher Dear parents and carers, I trust that everyone in the school community is keeping well and coping in this difficult lockdown time. Please do remember that the school is always here to help those students and their immediate families who are experiencing challenges during this time. Please do make contact with us if you feel that we can offer you any support. We have a dedicated email address for students, iamnotok@rodingvally.net, but both students and parents/carers can contact any member of staff they feel comfortable with at any time. On a positive note, the majority of our students are coping well and continuing to engage with the school in a meaningful and effective way. I would like to thank parents and carers for their continued support, as it is not easy with teenagers at home full time. I think we all accept that remote learning is not a replacement for all that school offers, both socially and academically, but I am delighted that in the recent parent survey, 87% of you graded our provision as good or excellent. We are all in this together and our goal is to continue to educate as best we can, albeit at distance, offer support and encourage motivation in continued learning. We will act on the feedback given, as my aim is always to continue to improve to be the best that we can be. Please do read Miss Larkin’s Home Learning Update, we are now exploring the use of ‘live worksheets’. This, amongst many other things, is one strategy that we are using across the school during our live lessons to be able to effectively monitor engagement and give individualised feedback during the lesson to keep students on track. I do think that children are getting tired as we are now four weeks into this lockdown, I know my daughter is! It is important to take stock to improve mental wellbeing and ensure adequate breaks from screen time. Please do encourage your children to take breaks and exercise, please do engage with our Wellbeing Wednesday emails - offering a variety of suggestions. I am really looking forward to next week with the whole school participating in ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ activity Day 3rd February. Please visit our microsite for all the information you will need, it looks like a fabulous day. Assistant Headteacher, Tom Price, should be contacted if any concerns tprice@rodingvalley.net
