We are really looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to you about your child or children towards the end of this half term.

After the positive feedback we received last year, the Autumn term meeting will be an informal drop in.  Instead of booking an appointment time slot, parents will be welcomed into the classrooms at any time within the given time frames.  The teacher(s) will be available to talk to you about how your child has settled into their new class or year group, and you will have opportunity to look at the work your child has completed so far this year.  If you have a specific concern that you would like to talk to the teacher about, please contact them directly via admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk to arrange a meeting.

We will be opening up the classrooms to parents from 2pm to 3pm, and then from 3.20pm – 5.20pm on Wednesday 22nd October.

Formal parent consultation appointments with bookable appointment slots will take place in the Spring term.

Reading the Game

Birch class enjoyed their first ‘Reading the Game’ session this week with Shrewsbury Town in the community. They learnt all about the charitable work they do and began to learn some new footballing skills that they will be developing over the half term.

Head of School Message

Dear parents/carers,

We’ve come to the end of our first full week of the term, and what a week it has been! It’s certainly been a very wet one, so please ensure your children are prepared for the weather with suitable waterproof coats..

This month, we’ve launched our value of the month: Perseverance. As part of this, the Worship Council has selected the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den for the children to learn and reflect on. It’s a powerful tale of courage, faith, and determination—values we hope will inspire the children this term.

In line with our John 10:10 vision of ‘living life in all its fullness’, we encourage parents to share any news or achievements from home. It’s always wonderful to celebrate the milestones and successes our children experience beyond the school gates. You can see an example of this in Olivia’s recent news from Year 6.

In this newsletter, we’ve included the diary dates for the upcoming term. We hope these help you plan ahead and keep track of important events.

Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable weekend—let’s hope the rain clears up and we get some sunshine soon!

Mrs Mavin

Pet Service!

Dear Friends,
This Sunday morning, 11am, we are having a Pet Service at Bicton Church. You are most welcome to bring yours along! Equally, you don’t need a pet in order to attend (!)- all are warmly invited, as it’s an opportunity to thank God for our non-human friends and to celebrate the diversity of life we are blessed with, whatever our circumstances.
If you have a pet but he/she isn’t coming along, you could bring a toy version or something to represent them.
Do join us if you’d like to…
With Blessings,
Hannah x
