Head of School Message

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you so much for your generous donations in support of World Mental Health Day—we raised over £125, which is absolutely brilliant!

On Thursday, we wore blue to mark Youth Awareness Day, helping to raise awareness and spark conversations among our pupils.  In support of this initiative, we’re excited to host a Toy and Book Drop & Swap—please see the website post for full details on how to get involved.

Next week is the final week of this half term, and we have a busy and exciting schedule:

  • Maple and Oak Classes will be visiting Shrewsbury Flaxmill on Tuesday.
  • Oak Class will enjoy their special parent lunches on Wednesday, followed by whole school parent drop-ins in the afternoon.
  • On Thursday at 2.45pm, we invite you to join us for our PE Dance Showcase—a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the children’s creativity and movement.  Please enter school through the side door and head straight to the Hall.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend, and thank you again for your continued support.

Friends of Bicton School (FOBs) News!

Hi. It’s Laura from Friends of Bicton School and I am the acting chair. FOBS is a charity that hopes to run events for the children to have fun and try and fundraise for the school.
At our meeting this week, we had quite a few people offering to help FOBS going forward which is great, but any more help would also be appreciated.  We are looking for people for a variety of roles varying from helping out at events, serving tea/coffee at other events or even just donating small items such as cake or tidying up. Please let us know if you are interested.
There is a Facebook group for the school (it is a private group), managed by FOBS, which you can join if you wish. The group is called Friends of Bicton School and Nursery. We will use this to continue to update with our plans and share news relating to the school. We also aim to continue to use the school newsletter for updates.
You are warmly invited to our AGM on Thursday 18th November at 7.30pm at school to discuss events and finalise roles on the committee.
