Message from the Headteacher Dear Roding Valley High School Community On Monday 27th January our school community commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day, an important occasion that provides our students with the opportunity to reflect on historical events and their relevance to our modern world. Such observances are crucial in developing our students' understanding of global citizenship and the importance of tolerance and respect. Students watched two videos, joined an online assembly and had a tutor time discussion to mark the day. We have a number of exciting trips and visits on the horizon. These educational excursions are invaluable in enriching our students' learning experiences beyond the classroom, and we encourage full participation where possible. You will receive information about a number of different opportunities in the next few weeks, including residential trips and information about the upcoming Duke of Edinburgh programme.

For our Year 11 and Year 13 students, the upcoming Pre-Public Examinations (PPEs) are fast approaching. These assessments are a vital part of their preparation for their final examinations, providing valuable practice and feedback. We urge all students to approach these with diligence and to make use of the support available to them. If you or your child would like to discuss these further or need any additional support, please speak with their form tutor or Head of year in the first instance.

I am pleased to report on our ongoing collaboration with local schools, including Bancroft's. These partnerships allow us to share best practises and provide additional opportunities for our students, fostering a broader educational community. Next week a small group of Sixth Form students will join their annual Competitive Futures Option event at Bancroft’s where they will hear from a range of university speakers including UCL, Oxford and Warwick and an additional talk by UBS on degree apprenticeships. Our thanks to them for hosting our students on this day.

There are several achievements I would like to celebrate with you. Firstly, we have received over 360 Sixth Form applications for the coming academic year. Interviews for these positions will take place next week, and we look forward to welcoming a wonderful new cohort of students to our outstanding Sixth Form community. Additionally, I am pleased to report that the work on our RAAC affected building is progressing well. We appreciate the patience and understanding of all those affected by this necessary work. In subsequent newsletters I will share pictures with you of some of the interior work that has already taken place.
