RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect Endeavour Week ending: Friday 29th March 2018
“Our vision is to be the school of choice for our local community, developing successful young people with high aspirations, who show respect for all and endeavour to become the very best that they can be.”
Message from the Head of School Thank you to all the parents and students who supported Sports Relief today, at the latest count we had raised £1875.65 for the charity. The students have been excellent and enjoyed the lunchtime activities. Having concluded our student leadership interviews I am delighted to announce our House Captains, please see Page 4 onwards; an overview of all the successful students. It is a very exciting time for the school, we will finalise the House names next term and then launch our first round of House competitions and assemblies. I am really proud of our students, they are a real inspiration. Please ensure that you use the forthcoming Easter holiday to replace any Uniform, equipment or shoes as appropriate. The uniform expectations are included in this bulletin. Please note that black trainers are not acceptable unless worn for specific evidenced medical purposes, all jumpers must be school issue and skirts must be worn below the knee. Where medical evidence is provided then the student is issued with a mauve card which they can show if challenged. This has been discussed with the students in their assemblies this week and non-conformity will be sanctioned. The students’ appearance in our community is very important to the good standing of the school and our uniform is now of a very high standard which I intend to maintain. I thank you for your support in advance, our consistent expectation benefits everyone. If anyone is suffering financial hardship then please do contact Miss Dyer to discuss, we will always do our best to support where we can. The school will be running a programme of support for our GCSE/ A level students during the Easter holidays. I am always so grateful for the excellent and committed staff; who are always prepared to come and support the students at this crucial time. Not all schools offer such a programme and many students find the structure offered invaluable in preparing for their exams and ultimate success. The programme has been emailed to parents and students but is included in this bulletin. This is a period of revision at all levels in the school and revision guides and tips have been emailed to support both parents and students. Please also look on our website in our Teaching and Learning Section under GCSE Revision Resources.
