Message from the Head of School
I trust that everyone had an enjoyable Easter break, especially with the warm weather we experienced last weekend. It has been a pleasure to be back in school this week; the students have come back focused and ready to embark on the new term. Thank you for your support with our dress code as our students are all looking incredibly smart in their uniforms. I am sure you will join me in thanking our teaching staff who came in over the Easter holidays and offered study and support sessions to our GCSE and A level students. There was a fantastic attendance to these sessions and our students have said that they were of real value to them at this stage. This week we were incredibly proud to host the West Essex Regional ‘Speak out Challenge’, I would like to say that all of the18 students from the fifteen other schools that took part in this event were amazing. Congratulations to Mia Ali and Charlotte Copeman, who won 1st and 3rd place and wish all of the winning students luck in the upcoming national finals in July. Please see the article further on in this bulletin. Roding Valley High has also celebrated sporting success this week with our Year 8 Football team winning the Harlow and West Essex Cup, with a score of 3-2 against Passmores Academy. Well done to the team for all of their hard work and commitment. Some of our brilliant Year 9s had the opportunity to experience a lecture led by Mr Cocker and Mrs Preston on the history of the Middle East. This is now the third in our ongoing programme of academic lectures to KS3 students. It is great for our younger students to have an opportunity to experience what it feels like to sit in university style lecture and broaden their horizons.
