Full school closure – Friday 9th January

Due to the adverse weather conditions and the amber weather warning currently in place, and with forecasts showing that conditions are expected to continue through the night, school will be FULLY CLOSED tomorrow, Friday 9th January.
The safety of our pupils, families, and staff is our priority. The combination of severe weather, a potentially unsafe site, and likely travel difficulties for both staff and parents has led us to make this difficult decision. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Remote Learning
Links to optional remote learning activities will be available on the class pages tomorrow morning, should your child wish to complete them.
Thank you for your continued support.

Adverse Weather Update

Dear parents/carers,
Due to the current weather forecast, we may need to fully or partially close the school tomorrow. Many local schools have already made the decision to close.
Several of our staff members travel a considerable distance and the conditions may cause significant staffing challenges. In addition, Shropshire Council has confirmed that all school transport will be cancelled tomorrow, which will impact pupil attendance and our ability to run safely.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely throughout the afternoon and will make a final decision by early this evening. As always, the safety of pupils and staff remains our highest priority.
We will update you through our usual communication channels as soon as a decision is made.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Mrs Mavin

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of a long and busy Autumn term, I want to take a moment to thank you for your incredible support over the last term. Your kind words, thoughtful cards, and generous gifts mean so much to all of us here at Bicton. It’s a privilege to work in partnership with you for the benefit of our children. This term, we also say a very special farewell to Mrs Ball, who is retiring after years of dedicated service in education and the last 18 months supporting us at Bicton. Her guidance has helped shape Bicton into the wonderful school we are and we wish her every happiness as she begins this exciting new chapter—especially with the arrival of her first grandchild, due on Christmas Day! On a personal note, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible staff. Their absolute commitment and dedication to our children, the strong relationships they build, and the care they show every single day make Bicton such a special place. I am truly grateful for all they do. Wishing you all a joyful Christmas filled with peace and happiness. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, 6th January 2026. Warm regards, Mrs Mavin Head of School

Dear parents/carers,

Wow! What a busy week!

We have had bowling trips, nativities, pantomimes, Father Christmas visits, choir and handbells performances and everything else in between in the last few days and we are so grateful for all of your support in helping make these events a success.

Mrs Jones’ Christmas shop has raised over £550 for school so a huge thank you to her for her amazing organisation and giving the children an opportunity to choose gifts for their loved ones.

The pantomime trip on Wednesday was a fantastic experience for all the children and they thoroughly enjoyed singing and dancing along, making more noise than the other schools put together!

Reminders for next week:

SUNDAY 14th 5pm – Bicton Church Carol Concert

MONDAY 15th/TUESDAY 16th – Choir and Handbells trips

WEDNESDAY 17th 6.30pm – KS2 Carol Concert. All children in school uniform with festive headwear! Please park at the school or the Village Hall – not on Bicton Lane.

THURSDAY 18th – Christmas outfit/ Christmas Dinner/ Christmas party day! Collection from the Hall door at 4.45pm

FRIDAY 19th – Last day of term!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Mavin
