“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.”
RVHS Parent Bulletin Aspiration Respect Endeavour Weekending: Friday 6th September 2019 Message from the Headteacher Looking ahead to a new academic year is an exciting prospect for both students and teachers, especially following the success of the 2018/2019 academic year across the school – we celebrated the best GCSE results ever achieved at Roding Valley High school, with a record breaking 5% of our Year 11s achieving a grade 9 – more than double the national average. We achieved English, Maths and Science results significantly above both the national and Essex averages. We also waved off one of our Year 13s as they head to the University of Cambridge. Igor, who will be studying Natural Sciences at Girton College, was amongst a huge number of our A Level students who secured places at first-choice Russell Group Universities, such as Kings College London and Newcastle University. It wasn’t just inside the classroom that our students proved their talent; our debate club revealed future politicians, as our students won the national Up for Debate Championship competition and then went on to debate climate change on BBC Essex radio station. Our artists also scooped a range of awards at the local Youth Makes Art competition, and our rising drama stars performed a piece at the Shaw Theatre in London. We had the pleasure of watching our students perform and excel in Jack Petchey’s ‘Speak out Challenge’, a competition aimed at instilling confidence and public speaking skills in young people, for which we both hosted and won the Regional Final. Similarly, our Challenge and Enrichment programme highlighted a range of diverse talents at the showcase at the end of the last term – with the winner creating a stunning display about the importance of bees. It has been such a pleasure to watch the artistic and creative talents at Roding Valley High School flourish and be recognised in the local community and beyond.
