Celebration Assembly Thank You

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for our end-of-year Celebration Assembly. Having families join us again in school, for our first summer assembly in three years, was just the perfect end to our school year. It was wonderful to be able to share the children’s achievements and hard work with you, and we are so proud of each and every one of them. They truly are amazing!

Safer School Parent Survey

Safer School Initiative (see below for link to online survey)

The Safer School initiative, created by West Mercia Police and supported by Shropshire Council, is a school security initiative that encompasses personal safety.

As part of our Safer School accreditation, we survey parents annually about our school grounds/site. The responses are reviewed and discussed at a Safer School meeting with school representatives.

The essential elements of the package are as follows: –

  1. Implement basic security measures applicable at all schools i.e. property marking, and visitor passes etc.
  2. Consider pro-active security/safety measures for the site/building and/or protecting assets.
  3. Establish a procedure for recording incidents i.e. anti social behaviour, vandalism etc. Any recorded information can then be analysed. In addition, the same recording procedure can be used for surveying a problem i.e. an unauthorised thoroughfare.
  4. If there are any projects to be undertaken, they are prioritised. Following the implementation of a project, the success of it is reviewed.
  5. PSHE or education of pupils as per the Safer School pack.

As part of the process, we would appreciate your views. Please click below to complete the short online form and we thank you for taking the time to do so.

Weekly News 17.06.22

Hello everyone,

I hope you’ve coped ok with the very warm weather this week!

Well done to Birch and Hazel class for their amazing attitude on our Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre visit this week. Several members of the general public stopped Bicton staff to comment on the children’s impeccable behaviour, which made us very proud of them all!

Arthog – REMINDER

If you haven’t already done so, please return any medication permission forms on Monday. Remember, we cannot administer any medication nor should children bring anything with them – prescribed or non-prescribed – that we have not been informed about, without the correct forms. This is part of our safeguarding and health and safety procedures. Please note, this includes asthma inhalers which children do not already have in school, hayfever relief and travel sickness tablets.

Annual parent survey

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our annual parent survey. If you haven’t already done so, the online form (below) will stay open until next Friday and we thank you in advance for sparing a few minutes to complete it.

Your child has been given a paper copy of the below letter today. Apologies for the wrong date on the 2nd page of the paper copy – it should have said 17th June not 17th March!

Half-term news 31.05.22

Hello everyone,

Apologies for not sending this out sooner!

On behalf of all our staff and pupils, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone  for making last week such an amazing week  for our school community. We wanted our week of activities to be memorable for the children so that they can look back on it in years to come and remember what they did in school for the Platinum Jubilee, just like I’m sure many of you have fond memories of previous Jubilee celebrations.

It was great to see so many of you at our craft mornings and as for the Friday afternoon … it surpassed our wildest dreams! It was wonderful to have so many families join us for the afternoon picnic and to see the children so happy and excited and just enjoying spending time together in such glorious weather!

A huge thank you to FOBS for all their efforts (especially the Pimm’s!) and their relentless hard work in raising funds for our school and nursery. Thank you to everyone who donated goods for the refreshments or the raffle and to everyone who supported FOBS in visiting their stalls.

At the end of this news, there is a Jubilee photo gallery for you to enjoy.

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy your own Jubilee celebrations this weekend x

Year 5/6 reminders 

Please remember to return any outstanding reply slips for Polished Brass and also swimming (1st swimming session is on Monday afternoon so don’t forget your kit.)

Please can Year 5/6 parents also complete the online form for Relationships and Sex Education. Thank you if you have already done so.

Annual school photos 

The photographers are in school on Thursday 9th June. Younger siblings who do not attend nursery can have their photo taken with siblings who attend our school and nursery.  This will be before the start of the school day in the Hall but I will ask the school office to send a message out on Monday about what time you should arrive from.

Children in school and nursery will be taken to the Hall during the morning to have individual and class photos, as well as with their siblings who are in school/nursery.

If you have a child in nursery but they do not attend on Thursdays, you can bring them to the Hall before the start of the day to have their photo taken.
