We enjoyed a fabulous pantomime performance of Beauty and the Beast by M&M Productions yesterday! The children enjoyed joining in with the traditional pantomime back and forths and loved how the cast included their favourite songs into the show. What a treat to brighten up January!

Brandon Penny, journalist at the Colchester Gazette, paid us a visit to find out what Roach Vale is all about. He wrote a wonderful article about us!

Did you spot us in the newspaper this week? The story is available online for you to read.

Our children pulled out all the stops to raise money for Children in Need this year by creating wacky, creative hairstyles. Amazing work Roach Vale!

On Saturday 27th September 2025, Miss Denyer took the leap and completed her skydive. On the day, she upped the stakes by chnaging her 7000ft planned jump to a 10,000ft jump. After a long day of unpredictable weather (11 hours watching a wind sock in a field!), she finally took flight at 6pm and flew through the skies at sunset. You can watch the video by going to the Newsroom section of our website. You'll see Miss Denyer using her Happy Breathing to settle her nerves and then her big smile at the end. 

Our school raised over £2000, so we'll be ordering our new gazebo soon. Thank you for all your support.
