Head of School Message
Dear parents/carers,
What a week! I am so very proud of our Bicton family and the way we have pulled together to get through the week. The children have been fantastic in these difficult conditions and have shown brilliant resilience in the face of favourite activities being cancelled, planned trips not taking place and everything just feeling a bit ‘different’. They have all been superstars.
We are REALLY looking forward to a cooler week next week and our much-anticipated Sports Day on Wednesday!
By the end of next week, a letter with staffing arrangements for next year will be sent out. Thank you for being patient as we finalise these details.
A reminder of key dates over the last 3 weeks of term:
Wednesday 1st July – Sports Day. KS2 9.30am start, KS1/YR 1.30pm start. Parents/carers welcome to stay over lunchtime.
