Message from the Head of School. The school celebrated a great success in the Epping Forest Youth Parliamentary Debate on Friday night. The event was organized by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, Eleanor Laing, MP. To win this prestigious event against other schools is a major achievement and I congratulate Florence New 10V and Eva Randall 11Q for their amazing and confident performance. I also thank Miss Bingham and Miss Hanlon for their support with this fantastic Challenge and Enrichment event and to all the supporting students. Please click the link to view the performance The Year 9 students have enjoyed their Prison me? No way! Day this week. It was a very informative but enjoyable day for them. Their exams will continue into next week. The Year 7 students have enjoyed a brilliant achievement assembly. I am pleased to see that our Year 7 students have settled really well into life at Roding Valley High School and appear to have matured already. Can I reassure parents that where there are concerns we will contact you directly, there is Concern Evening on Thursday 14th December but this will be by invite only. The majority of our Year 7s are happy and making really good progress across the curriculum. Can I remind Year 11 parents that it is the Year 11 Parents evening on Thursday the 30th November, please remind your son / daughters to make appointments with their teachers. School remains very positive and we all start to look towards the Christmas season as December is nearly upon us. This does mean however, that the nights are drawing in; please do remind your sons / daughters about the importance of road safety and getting home promptly at the end of the school day. I thank you for your support regarding the behavior of our students before and after school. It has noticeably improved this week which reflects better on all our students in the local community. I would reiterate that the over whelming majority of our students are incredibly polite and well behaved. I receive many emails from visitors to the school and from out in the community praising our students. I do hope that many of you will be able to attend the Winter Concert on 5th December. I also hope that many of you will be attending the Christmas Fayre here in the school hall tonight starting at 7pm. This will be a great event organised by the PTA to raise money for the welfare of all the students in the school. Please do come along and support them but more importantly your child. The PTA provides many additional bits of equipment and resources which enhance the education for all students. Please remember that school is closed to students tomorrow – Friday 24th November. Note for the diary, we break up for Christmas on Tuesday 19th December. The students will finish at 12.20pm on this day ready for their Christmas holidays. Mrs. S Jenner Head of School
