WAR MEMORIAL RE-DEDICATED

Roding Valley High School celebrates GCSE successes Roding Valley High School students and staff are celebrating this year's GCSE results.

Head of School Sharon Jenner said: "We are delighted to have improved the percentage of students who achieved a good pass in both English and Maths.

Progress remains strong in the core subjects and is testament to the hard work and dedication of both students and teachers. There has been a signiďŹ cant increase in the number of students attaining the EBacc which supports the improvement this year in the number of students achieving good passes in Humanities. We are also really pleased that the number of good passes in Science continues to improve with continued exceptional results in Triple Science.This is all even more pleasing given the context of these examinations being the new, more challenging GCSEs.The reformed GCSEs are graded from 9 to 1. A Grade 8 equivalent to an A* and Grade 9 is the highest grade, reserved for the top 3 per cent of the National cohort. The old-style C grade is now equivalent to a Grade 4."

Among the many success stories at Roding Valley, there were a number of outstanding individual performances.

Mashrur Khondokar achieved six Grade 9s, two Grade 8s, one Grade 7 and an A grade. His twin sister, Maisha Khondokar achieved two Grade 9s, two Grade 8s, four Grade 7s and a B grade. Yasu George achieved ďŹ ve Grade 9s, three Grade 8s and two Grade As. Eva Randall achieved four Grade 9s, three Grade 8s and two Grade 7s.

The majority of the high performing students are joining Roding Valley's Sixth Form, which also celebrated greatly improved A-Level results last week.

Ms Jenner said: "It is an exciting time for the school with improved facilities and a new Sixth Form Study Centre housed in our new state-of-the-art Brook Building which opens later in September. We are now proud partners in CLP, a multi-academy trust. We will work within the trust to further consolidate and improve the outcomes and experiences of all at Roding Valley High School."

A service of re-dedication has taken place to mark the completion of work on the war memorial in Farm Hill Road, Waltham Abbey.

The service was taken by the Rector of the Abbey Church, Waltham Abbey, the Rev'd Peter Smith. Among those attending were Waltham Abbey Town Mayor councillor Jeanne Lea, Cllr Eddie Johnson, Vice-Chairman of Essex County Council, town and district councillors and representatives from the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

The work includes the laying of new paving stones and the jet washing and re-pointing of the war memorial. The war memorial also features a new plaque which indicates the site of the onetime war memorial hospital. Planting, which includes a oral bed currently depicting the number '100' to commemorate the end of the Great War, has been carried out by the town council's grounds staff.

The Mayor, Cllr Mrs Lea said, "Waltham Abbey Town Council is delighted with the work which has been carried out on the war memorial, and it is ďŹ tting that this facelift coincides with the 100year centenary of the end of the First World War. The new plaque highlighting our former war memorial hospital is a lovely feature and helps ensure that the hospital, which was built thanks to public subscription, and its place in the history of our local community will be remembered for decades to come."

Stagecoach launches new school in Loughton to meet growing demand for performance arts.

Zach says of his new position as Principal, “I’m buzzing with excitement at the opportunity to build a strong, creative syllabus that will challenge the talented children of Loughton, whilst being fun, educational and rewarding for them. At Stagecoach we believe inspiring our students with ‘Creative Courage for Life’ will give them the confidence to own whatever it is they choose to do in the future!”

S IP T 10 TO GET THE MOST FROM SCHOOL OPEN DAYS

So you’ve studied the Ofsted or ISI reports.

You've looked at the league tables. You've tapped into the parental grapevine. You've shortlisted the catchment schools within a convenient distance from your home.

Your next step is school open days. These will allow you to visit the schools you’ve put on your list as possible good fits for your son or daughter. Most of these take place in September or October.

Choosing schools is not easy. That’s whether it’s a pre-school, primary or secondary school. As parents, understandably, we feel under enormous pressure to get it right. And, let’s face it; it's probably one of the most important decisions we’ll make for our children.

Make the right choice The right school will get the best out of your child and shape his or her future path in life.

The schools you list on your local authority application form are crucial. In 2017 over 91% of children got a place at their primary school of choice in the UK. More than 84% were offered a place at their preferred secondary school.

What school open days reveal School open days are a not-to-be-missed opportunity to get a genuine sense of whether a school is right for your child.

Attending them has become even more important for parents in the current education ‘marketplace’. More and more schools have become savvy marketers.

Many promote themselves via glossy brochures, attractive websites, and advertisements in local papers.

A lot are making the most of social media too, with regular posts about school life on Facebook and Twitter. These are well worth studying to get a good sense of a school.

12

ESSEX CENTRAL

But really, it’s only when you get inside a school that you’ll be able to see beyond the polished sell. And know if the images in the school brochure or Facebook feed portray everyday reality…

Just how much store should you set by the Ofsted report?

It’s a good idea to go to as many school open days as you can, and especially those that are in your local catchment area. This is still the most widely used admissions criteria. Whether you’ll get the school you want, though, even if it’s close to your home, will depend on many factors outside your control.

So don’t dismiss schools out of hand and don’t set too much store by the Ofsted inspection report.

Schools can change quickly, as can their staff.

Be aware that the report may be out of date. Also don’t take too seriously what you read in Ofsted’s ‘Parent View’. It only takes one or two parents to say they don't agree with any of the statements (perhaps because they have a bone to pick with the school) for the results to be skewed. Just a few responses can lead to 80% saying they would recommend the school to a friend, but 20% would not.

So the message is, judge each school for yourself.

The more school open days you attend, the more informed you’ll be. Here’s how to get the best from them.

10-step checklist for getting the most out of a school open day 1. Take your child with you Listen to what she has to say. Is this a place she could thrive in? Watch her reactions. Encourage her to ask questions herself. Her opinion and buy-in is vital. Choosing a school will often be an intangible ‘gut’ choice, both for you – and your child.

2. Choose a daytime open day if you can Evening or Saturday open days tend to be more staged but they’re still a great opportunity to meet teachers and get a good sense of a school. Daytime, though, you’ll get more chance to see the school in action and get out into the corridors and see lessons taking place.

3. Go prepared Open days are a great chance to ask questions. So have a list of written down that you would like answered. For example, how do children of different abilities fare at the school? What sports and clubs are on offer? What options are there for GCSEs and Alevels? What’s the pastoral care like? How up to date is the ICT suite? What’s the policy towards bullying?

The head of the school or departmental head may address the answer you need in the overview presentation. If not, choose your moment to speak to them afterwards and pin down the answers you need for your child.

4. Get a feel for the school ethos Yes, Ofsted reports, performance indicators and exam results are important.

But a school’s ethos is vital. Look at the interaction of the pupils. How do they wear their uniform? How do they behave, towards one another and their teachers? Can you see genuine relationships?

Are teachers respected but not feared? Is there a warm and happy atmosphere?

5. Interview the children Good schools encourage children of all ages to get involved in their open days. So are students helping to show you around? That’s a good sign.

Obviously, schools tend to use their ‘best’ pupils for this task. But most children will be honest if you ask them

the right questions. What do they like about their school? What’s their head teacher like? Listen to what your student guides say. Do they seem enthusiastic?

Are they well mannered?

6. Check out the classrooms Go into the classrooms and look at the displays on the walls. How much is pupils’ work valued? Does it show a broad range of abilities? Talk to teachers if you can. Do they seem motivated or tired? Try and scratch below the surface and gauge their stress levels. Ask them: ‘Why did you choose to work here?’

Their replies can tell you a lot.

7. Spy on break time If your open day coincides with school break time, take the chance to observe behavior in the corridors.

If you can witness the lunch break, even better. Is it calm and orderly? Are there healthy meal options?

Take a peek at the toilets. Are they clean and well looked-after? Is there graffiti?

8. Hover at the school gate If there’s a chance to tap into the school-gate opinion at the end of your open day, then grab it. Talk to parents about how they feel about the school. You’ll often get an accurate sense of how the school is performing and how happy its children are this way.

9. Reflect on what you've seen After your school open day, note down your impressions. Did you and your child come away with that all-important feel-good factor? Consider whether you found the open day well-organised. Did it include a well-planned programme? Was there plenty of opportunity to talk to staff and pupils? This can give you a good indicator of how well run the school is.

10. Plan to go back If you liked the school, then ask if you can come for a return visit. You’ll have a clearer perspective when you go back, having attended other school open days.

WE KNOW LONDON IS FULL OF FANTASTIC ATTRACTIONS, SO WE DECIDED TO GO FOR 3 DAYS OUT THAT WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE NORM‌

ARCELORMITTAL ORBIT

instructor who laid us down on a plastic sack and gave us our instructions, then off we went!

First up, we headed to the Olympic Park at Stratford to try the world’s largest tunnel slide, the hugely impressive ArcelorMittal Orbit. This colossal structure is ofďŹ cially Britain’s largest piece of public art and offers guests a fantastic observation deck, as well as the slide itself. As we made our way to the summit with our guide Marian we walked out to be greeted with a mind bending reection, a vast mirror that ipped our image as soon as we stepped out of the lifts, which we were told was a little trick from the architect himself Anish Kapoor.

There’s 12 turns in total and the ride takes just over 40 seconds, some of the turns are quite fast and the ride is split between sections of darkened tunnel then open

Moving away from this you approach the huge panoramic views across London, from initially looking down to the Olympic stadium beneath you, to the mid distance of Canary Wharf, St Pauls and The City, to the outskirts of the Dartford crossing and beyond. It’s superb and a lot of fun picking out landmarks across the skyline with the help of the interactive touch screens installed to help visitors.

Then its down to the oor below,

ESSEX CENTRAL

Perspex windows, then straight back into another tunnel section.

There are many moments you assume it’s coming to an end, only to pass another window and see you’re still above the London skyline‌ it’s simply fantastic.

and the trepidation starts to creep in as you see people donning their safety pads and crash helmets, how dangerous is this slide?! We were soon kitted up and ready to ďŹ nd out, and made our way to the

Once we got to the bottom we grabbed some lunch and looked around a few more venues such as the aqua dome because that’s the beauty of this attraction, it’s surrounded by so many iconic Olympic sites that you can make a full day here so easily, looking at the Olympic stadium, the velodrome, not to mention a visit WestďŹ eld itself if you fancy some shopping and more food. This is a great location and certainly one we shall visit again, perhaps next time we will see the skyline at night. www.arcelormittalorbit.com

WAKEUP DOCKLANDS A short drive from the Olympic Park and we found a beach, lido and wake boarding centre, yes you read that right. We were in the Docklands but had found an oasis of calm and tranquillity, with lovely music, sand in your toes and local beer pulled in a wooden beach hut.

The owner of ‘WakeUpDocklands’ Jon Byrne explained more to us, “The city can be a very stressful place, and what we can offer is a break from all that, a place to unwind, chill out and relax, without having to drive a couple of hours to the coast.”

Anyone can book up some sessions and give it a try. What Jon and his team have created is truly superb and the star of the show is off course the wakeboarding experience itself.

I had no wakeboarding skills yet, but my colleague Simon had a few sessions in the bag so I was keen for him to go first. The set-up is that you get into the water and hold the rope, which is then pulled along by the overhead cables, you then start to rise up out of the water, turn your board, and master the art

of keeping enough pressure you your leading foot whilst not pulling in on the rope and getting your body stance correct. It was a lot to deal with at first and initially I face planted into the Royal Victoria Dock with alarming regularity, as Simon continued to glide majestically around corners and seemed only hours away from applying to the world championships.

However, undeterred and with the calming instructions of Jon I eventually started to get to grips with the technique and by the end I was gliding back to shore holding the rope with 1 hand whilst posing.

This really was a fantastic experience and Jon is not only a great instructor he is also clearly trying to create something bigger than just a wakeboarding retreat, it’s a little paradise nestled amongst the madness and well worth a visit. Especially as he is currently offering 10 hours for just £150. www.wakeupdocklands.com

TEAMSPORT GO KARTING Finally, our crazy day took us to TeamSport Go Karting, just across the river to see their recently expanded, split level race track. I’d been looking forward to this all day as I’m a huge fan of go karting and we got into our overalls and headed to the safety meeting.

Once the briefing was over we headed trackside and the scale of the track became the talking point, it was huge.

Nearly a kilometre in length and with the recently added 2nd level it created a vast array of turns and straights for overtaking and trying to hold positions.

We got in our go karts, adrenaline flowing, and the race began. We sped off like crazy (well, most of us did, there’s always some slow ones who seem like they want to view the sights) and started blitzing round the track. There’s marshals everywhere so if someone did get nudged into a wall, or took a turn too fast then they’d be on hand to get you back in the race and keep things moving.

We had 2 15 minute sessions and it was exhausting. We zoomed across the track and flew up and down the ramps, eventually, covered in sweat we made it back to the pits and checked our scores, one of us had the best average lap, the other had the fastest, so we respectfully called it a draw.

This venue (along with their sister site in Basildon) is perfect for a group of people who want to go out and have a great action packed day with a competitive edge, or just a couple of mates who want to test their skills. There was a real range of ages and the split was 50-50 between men and women.

Team sports have centres across the country and it’s clear to see why they are doing so well when they’re able to provide you with such a fantastic experience. www.team-sport.co.uk

The staff deserve a mention here, all were very professional and helpful, creating a really good atmosphere amongst the attendees.

AS WE PREPARE FOR THE COOLER MONTHS ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TIME TO SWITCH OUR BRIGHTLY COLOURED LIPSTICKS FOR DEEPER, DARKER SHADES. SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET INSPIRATION FOR THIS SEASONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GO-TO SHADES THAN THE AW18 CATWALKS? At Alexander McQueen, the classic rouge took a deeper plunge into darkness, this time with a hint of oxblood.

However, this colour is not to be paired with a full face of makeup. Instead, a bare faced look is recommended to let the lips do all of the talking. Try Antipodes Ruby Bay Rouge to recreate this look.

Max Mara made their statement with a pop of pink.

What we love about this romantic yet rebel-spirited shade is that it goes against everything autumn winter, making it an ideal colour for those wishing to brighten up their winter look. Opt for Antipodes Dragon Fruit Pink for pretty pink, just been kissed lips.

The dramatic plum lip seen at Dolce & Gabbana is not for the faint hearted. This colour is bold, brave and incredibly chic. This look can be vamped up with a thick layer of liner around the eyes. Make a statement with Antipodes Oriental Bay Plum.

With their on-trend colours, Antipodes Moisture Boost Natural Lipsticks are a safer option to others on the market. As we ingest up to seven pounds of lipstick throughout our lives through the skin on our lips or by swallowing while eating or drinking, Antipodes have formulated these lipsticks with ingredients that are not only safe to consume - but are actually healthy.

Meaning that we can take care of our lips whilst at the same time, looking good.

Photo feelunique.com

KEY INGREDIENTS: â&#x20AC;˘ Avocado Oil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Packed with essential fats, vitamins and minerals that increase collagen production and keep lips beautifully dewy and fresh. â&#x20AC;˘ Calendula Oil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Extracted from the marigold ďŹ&#x201A;ower, which contains anti-inďŹ&#x201A;ammatory properties. â&#x20AC;˘ Evening Primrose Oil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An edible oil rich in healthy fats that is also used as a natural dietary supplement. â&#x20AC;˘ Argan Oil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Moroccan nut oil that balances oil production and keeps lips soft and hydrated. www.antipodesnature.com

PESTS & DISEASE

The cabbage root fly targets cabbages, cauliflower and other brassicas. As the plants grow slowly they begin to wilt and die as their roots are eaten by larvae of a fly. Plants can be protected by growing them under the cover of horticultural fleece.

Or you can place a brassica collar around the base of the stem. The collar prevents the female fly placing eggs on the soil surface close to a plant. Eggs deposited on the collar often dry up and fail to hatch.

• Improve the soil before replanting by adding some well-rotted manure or compost which will help to feed the plant until next year.

• Water them in well and continue to do so for the next few weeks.

• Don’t forget to leave some of your perennials with their seed heads still on to provide food for birds, and this will also help to add some interest in the garden over winter especially on frosty days when they will stand out with some sparkle and shine.

There are still plenty of colourful flowers to be enjoyed like Dahlias, Chrysanthemums and Asters. Keep deadheading them to encourage them to flower for as long as possible.

Plant up some hyacinth and amaryllis bulbs indoors in pots ready for forcing. They will grow into lovely colourful blooms just in time for Christmas and will make perfect home-grown presents for family and friends.

WILDLIFE WATCH Badgers are stocky, with short legs and silvery-grey fur. They have very distinctive black and white markings on their faces.

They can sometimes be seen at night wandering through the garden, foraging for food and also in woods and on grassland. They live in family groups in a series of underground chambers, called setts, which are often used by successive generations.

WITHOUT A MAP...

Today, Jake turns 3, happy birthday to the little cave boy. I think he was born about 65 million years too late because he would have fitted in very well with the dinosaurs. His favourites being Spinosaurus and of course, T-Rex. I’m not sure how he initially got into 70’s music but its all he goes on about these days. I expect he will soon be strutting to school in fluorescent bell bottoms and funky glasses whilst balancing a huge afro.

But, back to the here and now, he is deliriously happy about his toys (mainly dinosaurs,) his clothes (covered in dinosaurs) and his TV programmes (95% dinosaurs, and 5% ‘Top Of The Pops 2’).

In the last few weeks of the summer holidays his speech has come on leaps and bounds, and he is throwing out random phrases which he is clearly copying from us, “Oopsy daisy”, “Can I have some toast please” and the adorable “I need more Vodka! These kids will be the death of me!!” …bless him.

The summer holidays themselves have been a real test of endurance as most parents will understand.

Sure, it’s fine at the start, everyone is laughing and joking, really enjoying the family time together, but after a few hours this starts to wear a bit thin. By the 5th week our house looks like an episode of Big Brother, set in a war zone. The northern voice over begins… “Day 32 and Dad is foolishly trying to undertake simple chores, and we watch him now as he prepares to make his toast. Unbeknownst to him, Jake is coming round the corner with a water balloon and throws it at his father and across

ESSEX CENTRAL

the toaster. The dad’s hair is on end and there’s smoke rising from his ears and both eyes have been crossed for over a minute now.

George has also arrived and both boys are giggling uncontrollably whilst their mum frantically calls for an ambulance” …. And so on.

“Our house looks like an episode of Big Brother, set in a war zone.”

So we have been trying to pad out the days with cheap and easy activities, such as playing football, climbing trees, days at the beach etc…. and yesterday George and myself did some late night stargazing. It was fantastic, and whereas Jake has a huge interest in dinosaurs, George is fixated with astronomy. We managed to see Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (plus hundreds of stars) and every now and then George would also find a rapid comet, hurtling across the sky with red and blue blinking lights on the front… then correct himself and begrudgingly admit he’d seen another plane. At some stage we are bound to see a comet though, I’ve seen many shooting stars from the garden and I’m sure when George sees his first one the wish will involve something excruciating like ‘longer summer holidays’.

The holidays have allowed us to train them up for a couple of useful things though, namely potty training and swimming (only twice have these two activities combined and thankfully we was able to leave the pool in a hurry). George is now able to swim freely, without armbands, across the length of the pool, but both boys would much rather stand on the side and bomb into the

water, laughing like maniacs as they splatter towards me. The swim back to the side tends to make up most of their swimming practise, before they leap in again.

The potty training situation has been a bit more ‘hit and miss’ (excuse the rhyming slang) as Jake initially liked to be certain he was definitely going before casually strolling across to the potty. This technique would result in him standing in the middle of the front room, like a garden water feature, watching the greatest hits of T-rex.

He would then meander his way across the carpet, flinging urine in every direction as his mum and I tried to get near him, covering our eyes with one hand and armed with baby wipes in the other, all the while trying to scream through a closed mouth. He would eventually sit on the potty where the final drip would slowly land and form the loneliest puddle you’ve ever seen.

At this stage he would leap up and expect a treat, painfully oblivious to the yellow stained ceiling and walls that surrounded him. After a few days though the process started to become a little easier (and yes, we did have a number 2 moment, on the carpet, no joke) and he started going to the potty in good time. The only problem now is that he is trying to copy us when we empty the potty, and he finds it quite a struggle to have his head focussed on watching TV whilst walking along with his potty as its contents splash gleefully over the sides with each step towards the bathroom.

Thankfully, the holidays are nearly over!!
