RVHS Bulletin Week Ending 11th September2020 Message from our Headteacher Mrs Jenner Welcome Back to School

It has been really fantastic to have the students all back in school this week. It has been wonderful to see them so enthusiastic and keen to be back with their peers, teachers and in the classrooms. It is really exciting but I also appreciate that many of them have found it quite strange as the new ‘normal’ is not the same as it was in March. We are operating a special hub for students who are struggling and please encourage your child to speak to us if they are experiencing any issues. It is vitally important that we adhere to all safety procedures to preserve the health of everyone and reduce the risk of transmission of COVID19 in our school. I do appreciate that some have found the lack of freedom to move around the school site, restrictions on their ‘bubble’ zones, changes to the school day, and different class groupings difficult but unfortunately they will remain the ‘new normal’ until we are allowed to change the guidelines. We will therefore be taking any wilful defiance towards safety procedures very seriously as my primary concern will be the safety of the whole school community and keeping the school operational. Please do talk to your child about changes to procedures and please reiterate that these are not planned to reduce the enjoyment of school but necessary arrangements under the current pandemic situation. Please ensure that your child has a face covering as I am strongly advising them to wear it when moving around the school and communal indoor areas. Face coverings are only a part of our safety plan when moving around the school site, they are in bubbles, follow a one-way system, and cannot stop when walking inside the building. There are hand sanitation points at all entrances to the school site, buildings and in classrooms. Please also ensure that your child has their own hand sanitiser as part of their equipment. They also need a reading book as silent reading ‘DEAR’ time is part of the established routine of lesson changeover when the students remain stationary and teachers are moving. All breaks are taken outside in their own ‘bubble’ zone and now that students are familiar with the zones, any wilful movement between zones would be seen as a serious breach of our School Behaviour Policy. I attach the link for the first day back assembly which was shown to students - will provide further helpful advice.
