RVHS Bulletin Weekending Friday 14th January 2022 560pts
Dear Parents/Carers, Welcome to the first Parent Bulletin of 2022 - I wish everyone in the Roding Valley High School Community all the best for a happy and healthy year ahead. It has been a very positive and purposeful start to the new year here in school. Students have been brilliant and settled very quickly back into their learning routines.

Thank you for all your support with the onsite testing at the start of term, especially those parents who volunteered on site. It proved to be a very worthwhile exercise as a number of asymptomatic positive cases were identified. Please note that the current wearing of face coverings in classrooms is due to be reviewed by the government in line with their Plan B at the end of the month. Thank you for ensuring that students have a fresh face covering every day. 530pts
You may have read in the media that the self-isolation period is now being further reduced to 5 days. This is the latest guidance that we have received today from the Department of Education: From Monday 17 January, people who are self-isolating with COVID-19 will have the option to reduce their isolation period after 5 full days if they test negative with a lateral flow device (LFD) test on both day 5 and day 6 and they do not have a temperature. For example, if they test negative on the morning of day 5 and the morning of day 6, they can return to their education or childcare setting immediately on day 6. The first test must be taken no earlier than day 5 of the selfisolation period, and the second must be taken the following day. All test results should be reported to NHS Test and Trace. If the result of either of their tests is positive, they should continue to selfisolate until they get negative results from two LFD tests on consecutive days or until they have completed 10 full days of self-isolation, whichever is earliest. Anyone who is unable to take LFD tests or anyone who continues to have a temperature will need to complete the full 10-day period of self-isolation.

Teaching and Learning: Thank you to all the Year 11 and 13 parents who joined the live stream last night, hosted by Miss Larkin, Miss Preston and Mr Vermaaak. The feedback received said that it was incredibly useful - If you did miss it, then to access the presentation & recording, please visit our website: https://rodingvalley.net/high-school/revision-resources/ We also took the opportunity to re-launch our bespoke revision microsite. Please click here to access the GCSE one & here to access the A-Level one. The GCSE revision website is also incredibly relevant for our Year 10s as we encourage them to become more independent in their learning.
