This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.
Sharon Jenner, headteacher said: “We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of all of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto the next step in their education journey whether that is joining the sixth form or college, or starting an apprenticeship. We were delighted to see so many happy faces this morning and to welcome record numbers into our sixth form. The results of the cohort are outstanding and representative of the talented and committed students that we have here at Roding Valley High School. We look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.”
