Hello everyone!

I hope you have had a good weekend and you are all staying safe and well.

If you haven’t already seen it, here’s our school rainbow to spread a bit of hope and cheer.

Please see below a copy of the letter sent out last week, just in case you missed it.  There is also a list of free apps that you or your child might find useful. (A list of 20 useful apps was published in one of the Sunday newspapers but only the free apps are included on the attached list.)

Home learning update 25.03.20

Free apps

On Monday, remember to check the class pages area on the website for this week’s home learning tasks.

If you have any questions, or you just want to share something with us that your child has been doing, just drop us an email – we really do love to hear from you!

Take care

Mrs Johnson and staff

Hello everyone,

We hope your first week has gone as well as can be expected and we just wanted you to know we have missed seeing you all in school.

Home learning

Please see further information below on home learning activities and ideas to support you and your child.

Home learning update 25.03.20

Key worker childcare provision

Please remember to follow and adhere to the government’s lastest advice on staying at home. If you are a key worker, you should only book a childcare place at school if you and your partner are unable to work from home.

Scam email warning

We have been made aware that there is a scam email circulating telling parents who are eligible for free school meals to forward their bank details. Please do not provide your bank details, if you are contacted – parents whose children are eligible for free school meals have been contacted by school already.

Stay safe and well.

Mrs Johnson and staff

Firstly, on behalf of all the staff, THANK YOU for all your support this week. The immense challenges we have faced this week have been like nothing we have ever faced before. We are eternally grateful for your support and the way in which our whole school community has come together in these past few days and we cannot thank you enough for the emails and personal messages we have received. It really does mean so much to all of us.

Key worker childcare provision

I have contacted all parents who have identified themselves as key workers and who have requested childcare provision in school next week (Monday 23rd onwards.) Please can the children, who have been confirmed as having a place, wear comfortable clothing and bring an old pair of trainers/outdoor shoes/wellies.  Please can you also email me at head@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk to let me know if your child would like a school dinner on Monday.

Please do not bring your child to school next week, unless you have received a confirmation email from me.

Important letters sent out yesterday

Supporting your child at home 

The school office will be contacting parents on Monday to arrange collection of home-learning packs, reading books etc, for children who were not in school yesterday.

Thank you and stay safe and well.

Mrs Johnson

Please see an important letter below that all parents need to read and respond to as necessary. Thank you

key worker provision

Please see two important letters below which we ask all parents to read. Schools are still waiting for the Cabinet Office to publish the list of keyworkers so that parents know if their child can attend school from Monday.

In case we do not get chance to get an online survey out this evening, please can you email me asap if you think your role may be a keyworker. Thank you to the parents who have already contacted me this afternoon / evening.
