It’s that time of year again, when the Bicton Heath Coop invite children to make a decoration for their in-store Christmas tree with the chance to win a prize.  If your child would like to take part, please collect a wooden slice from the school office. Please return your child’s entry to the school office, by the end of the school day on Monday 12th December.

The KS2 (Year 3-6) Carol Service will now be on Wednesday 14th December at the slightly earlier time of 6:00pm.
The children have been practising really hard for the Service at Bicton Church and we hope you can join us.

This May Help website

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your donations for Children in Need. We raised £231 for the charity and children (and staff!) looked great in their pyjamas or spotty outfits!

We have been informed of a couple of cases of headlice in school at the moment.  For more infomation on treatments etc, please visit the NHS website.

Please can you remember to top up your sQuid dinner money balance (if needed) to avoid the school office having to make lots of phone calls at the start of the school day. Thank you
