A group of children from Oak and Maple class descended onto The Croud Meadow pitch this Thursday to take part in a VE-Day themed tournament. As well as having an amazing tour of the stadium, the children played a number of games battling hard and showing off our school values excellently.

Dear parents/carers,

Well despite it being a short week, we still managed to cram a lot in! We have had trips out, VE day celebrations in school, pupil council activities and more, and the rest of the term doesn’t look much quieter!

It has been a particularly busy week for our Year 6 pupils who have been preparing for the End of Key Stage 2 Assessments (SATs) next week.  A quick reminder that the Year 6s are welcome to join breakfast club from 8.15am from Monday – Thursday next week free of charge.  I am sure you will join us in wishing them the very best of luck for next week.

Thank you to those of you who joined us for the VE day celebrations, it was really lovely to see so many of you there and I hope you enjoyed the children’s decorations.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Mrs Mavin

A huge thank you to all of the parents who completed our parent feedback survey.  We hope that the QR system made it easier and we were delighted with the number of responses. We appreciate and value all of your feedback and comments and use these to help us make key operational and strategic decisions.  A few of the key responses are shared below.  Our staff and Children’s Safeguarding Board will be exploring some of the suggestions made in the responses including petitioning for Shropshire Council to install a zebra crossing by the pedestrian gate.

Dear parents/carers,

What a lovely first week back it has been! The children have come back to school well-rested and ready to learn and have all settled back into their school routines quickly.  They have thoroughly enjoyed breaktimes and lunchtimes in the sunshine on the field and have been making full use of all of the new playtime equipment! Please ensure your child brings a sun hat to school and that sun cream is applied before coming to school.  Children may bring their own sun cream to re-apply during the day in warm weather and we will remind them to do so.  Water bottles should also be brought in daily.

We are delighted to share that the FOBs Easter Fair raised almost £350 for school! This will go directly towards teaching resources for the children.

We are really hoping to see lots of you at our VE day party on Thursday! VE Day Snack bags are available to purchase on School Gateway (for adults and children) to enjoy during the party for £3 per person.  We are hoping to enjoy some wartime games so if you have anything suitable at home, please bring it along!

The parent survey feedback will be shared in this newsletter but I would just like to say a huge thank you for the overwhelmingly positive responses.  There have been significant changes in leadership and management as well as in the teaching and support staff team and your positive feedback really does mean the world to us.  I am very proud of our dedicated team here at Bicton and we thank you for all you do to work with us to support the best outcomes for our pupils.

Have a lovely bank holiday and we will see you on Tuesday.

Mrs Mavin
