“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 Bulletin Weekending Friday 27th January 2022 Dear Parents / Carers, The site in Alderton Hill is now celebrating 116 years as a school. It has not always been Roding Valley High School and was formerly known as Loughton County HIgh School for Girls. To pay tribute to this 116-year anniversary, the students are currently researching the rich history of this beautiful school. I have so enjoyed reading the old school ledgers and archives and look forward to the upcoming special edition of ‘Exposed’. A former student has written a lovely reflection of her time at the school and this can be viewed on the History of our school webpage, along with a sneak peek of some photos from the archive. From Thursday 27th January, Students and staff are no longer required to wear face coverings in the school but given the continued rise in cases we will not discourage their use, especially if members of the community are vulnerable or feel that they want to. This week has seen our highest level of COVID cases in school and It has been quite difficult with increased staff absence. I am hopeful that the situation will ease as the term progresses, thank you for your continued support. Visitors to the school will be kept to a minimum, if you do need to attend then please ensure that you have taken a LFT test before you arrive. My staff will continue to host remote meetings or call parents wherever possible for the time being. We are still encouraging testing for everyone in the school community, at least twice a week, Sundays and Wednesdays. Students have been issued with new test kits today. Please check that the students bring these home as we have had some concerns raised from the public regarding test kits being discarded. It's been a busy week - The Year 7 and Year 8 exams went really well and the students had their first exam experience in the main sports hall. They all behaved in a very mature fashion and applied themselves very positively. Essex Youth Service visited the Year 10s and they enjoyed a drama production ’Unacceptable Behaviour’ - this should help them make good choices as young adults and congratulations to all those students who took part in the Jack Petchey ‘Speak Out Challenge’. It was a very moving experience to host the whole school assembly on Thursday for Holocaust Memorial Day. Every member of the school community, in every classroom was logged on for the remote delivery by myself, Miss Larkin and Miss Preston. This means nearly 1500 students in silence around the entire school site, listening and reflecting on actions they can take to live in a world where Follow us: genocide no longer exists. The bulletin is packed with celebrations and activities that our students have engaged with over the last few weeks. I am hopeful that we can look forward to a time when we can increase school @rodinghs @RodingValleyHS enrichment trips and visits. All curriculum areas are reviewingwww.rodingvalley.net future enrichment experiences and I know that we already have a number of overseas trips planned for 2023.. Fingers crossed that our students get to enjoy these great experiences.
