Dear Parents/Guardians

Many people’s financial circumstances have changed due to the pandemic and a lot of people won’t realise they are now entitled to claim support that they weren’t entitled to before.

You may be eligible for free school meals, which if claimed quickly will also entitle you to vouchers over the the winter holiday period.

It takes a few minutes to check your eligibility and apply for the extra support. To do this please click on the following link. https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/free-school-meals/

If you apply by Thursday 10th December and your application is confirmed, you will receive a winter voucher worth £30.00 per child to help you over the two school week holidays. The voucher will be valid at a range of local supermarkets.

If you are already registered for free school meals, you will automatically receive the winter voucher which will be sent to the priority email registered with school.

If you are notified that your application has been confirmed  it would be helpful if you would also email admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk so that we know to expect your confirmation from the local authority.

Thank you.

If you have not yet booked before and after school clubs on sQuid for this week, can you please do so as a matter of urgency. If no children are booked in for clubs there may not be staff available to stay in school.

Booking is therefore essential.

From Monday 23rd November, Breakfast Club, 8:30 Club and After School Club will need to be booked and paid for through the school’s payment system, sQuid.

All clubs will be available to you to book and pay through the Trips and Offers purse as a Booking. You can access the booking area now but can only book clubs from Monday 23rd November onwards and payment will be needed at the time of booking.

You will be able to select which clubs your child will be attending on which dates and pay the amount that is required. If your child attends the same clubs each week, you can book and pay weekly. monthly or for the whole term if you prefer.

If you have already paid for clubs in advance, you do not need to go in and book/pay again as I am aware of who has already paid and for which clubs. Once you have used all of your credit, you will need to book for future clubs using the booking system. If you are unsure how much in credit you are, please contact the school office.

Telephone parent meetings are being held between 9th November and 26th November. If you haven’t yet booked an appointment can you please do so through the school website.

Thank you.

Each class have a supply of Poppies and other British Legion products that the children can purchase this week to support The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. The suggested donations are between 50p and £1.50.
