RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect Endeavour Week ending: Friday 15th February 2019 “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 I can’t believe it is half term already; it has been a very busy and productive time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support. We have some fantastic enrichment trips going out over half term. Sixty three of our students will visiting Disneyland in Paris, forty of our Year 10 students will be going Skiing in Bardonnechia, Italy and staying in the Olympic Village, whilst fifty of our KS4 and KS5 students will travelling to New York and visiting the Empire State Building, Radio City, Ellis and Liberty Islands and the 911 Memorial. I trust the will have a wonderful and enjoyable time and I thank my staff for arranging these opportunities. As a school we would like to support the Swimathon being held at Loughton Pool on Saturday 30th March in aid of cancer research. We would like to enter a team of Governors, parents, students and staff. Please see details further in the bulletin and if you would be interested in taking part then please contact our School Governor; Sharon Famiglietti: sfamiglietti@rodingvalley.net On a more sombre note; yesterday the school received the very sad news that the founding Headteacher of Roding Valley High School - Mrs Christine Manning had sadly passed away. Mrs Manning was Roding’s first ever Headteacher serving from 1989 to 2000, she steered the school through its formative years, following its formation from the amalgamation of three schools with very different traditions (Buckhurst Hill High School for Boys, Epping Forest High School a coeducational School and Loughton County High School for Girls), whilst weaving each school distinct traditions into a Roding Valley’s identity and ethos. Mr Stephen Murray - Loughton Town Mayor said “ Many hundreds of local school children are indebted to Mrs. Manning for her determined and caring leadership in the establishment of Roding Valley High School from three different schools with very different traditions, she laid the foundations for the great school Roding Valley is now”. The school sends their thoughts and condolences to her family. It was wonderful to see so many parents in attendance to our Year 12 and 13 Parents Evening this week, it was a great success and we hope the students have all the information they now need for them to be successful in their upcoming exams
