As the year draws to a close it is a good time to reflect on what we have achieved over the last 12 months. It has certainly been an incredibly busy year at Roding Valley High School and overall I am pleased with the progress that has been made. In the summer the students achieved a good set of results and the School Hall was full of happy and excited students, parents and staff on August the 20th. Our Open Evenings for both prospective Year 7s and Sixth Formers have been very well attended and it seems as if the reputation of the school has never been better. As I tour the school every day and visit lessons I am impressed with the attitude and work rate of the students and there is a calm and ordered working atmosphere. I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Roding Valley High School. The teachers put in a tremendous amount of work and certainly go the extra mile to develop the students. The support staff also play a crucial role in making the school a success and I am delighted with the way everyone pulls together. I've said on many occasions that this is a wonderful school and it is largely down to the fantastic staff that we have here who work tirelessly to ensure that students get the best support. I mentioned last week that instead of holding the usual Parents' Forum on Monday the 14th December, I would be running a series of meetings with parents if they have specific concerns or issues that they wish to raise with me. If anyone would still like to make an appointment please contact Mrs Sabin, on 020 8508 1173, to arrange a time between 6pm and 8pm on Monday evening. Since this is the last Bulletin of the year I thought I had better include a quick reminder that the school will close for the holidays on Thursday 17th December and students will be dismissed at 12.20pm. Students return in the New Year on Tuesday 5th January and will start at the normal time. Registration will begin as usual at 8.40am and they will go straight into lessons for Period1 on that day.. May I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that you all have the chance to have a rest over the break and our students return with their batteries fully charged for the challenges of 2016.
