RVHS Bulletin Weekending Friday 26th November 2021 Dear Parents / Carers,
560pts
I really hope that everyone in the school community is keeping safe and well. In regards to the recent announcement from the Government over the weekend concerning the new measures being put in place to prevent the spread on the new variant of COVID-19, the school has received an important update from the Department for Education. You should have all received a copy of my letter on Sunday night concerning the changes that will need to be put in place in regards to the use of face coverings. Please can I ask that all parents/carers ensure that they are aware of these changes. This letter is now available on our website, please click here to access. I would like to reassure you that presently COVID cases are relatively low within the school, but we want to continue to do everything that we can to keep the school open and operate as normally as we possibly can. We all want to continue to do everything within our power to minimise future disruption to your child’s education. We have also issued a further set of Lateral Flow tests; so please can you ensure that students continue to test twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays. As the cold weather draws in, please can I remind you that the school gates open at 8.25am and therefore, students should not be arriving at the gates significantly before this. The school site is supervised and secure from this time; students arriving before 8:25am for interventions and clubs should enter via the main reception. Safety has been the theme of my assemblies last week. As the darker evenings draw in, please can I ask that students travel straight home from school. We will be doing a ‘Safety Lockdown drill@ next Wednesday and this has been explained to all the students in my assembly. I have also reminded them of the numerous ways that they can seek help within the school, including from their form tutors, their Year Progress Leader, House Captains, Student Voice, Mentors and Leaders within school. They should all be aware of our iamnotok@rodingvalley.com email. I have spoken to them about seeking help for mental health issues and we revisited considering what they are posting on social media.

This term, Miss Dyer’s assemblies were on the topic of bullying. The students played an active part in the assemblies which were about the impact of “bystanders.” The assembly explored the responsibility we have to look out for one another and understand the part we can play in tipping the imbalance of power, sometimes unwittingly, simply by standing by and watching something unfold. Roding Valley High always encourages our students to show empathy and kindness to one another.
