Hello everyone

I hope you have all had a good week. The change in temperature has certainly made it feel more like we are in the autumn term but thankfully our children and staff seem to be keeping well and we have less children suffering from colds and runny noses!

There is a lot of information I need to share this week, so I ask that you take a few minutes to read everything in full.

URGENT REMINDER – Parents MUST follow social distancing on our school site

Please can we remind all parents and adults dropping off / collecting children from school/nursery, that YOU MUST LEAVE THE CAR PARK IMMEDIATELY after your child has gone in or you have collected them. We cannot have groups of parents staying to chat on the car park once their child has gone in or whilst children run around/play in the trees at the end of the school day. We are doing everything we can within school to keep our children, staff and visitors safe so WE NEED YOU TO DO THE SAME.

Only one parent should get out of your vehicle at drop off or collection time and we ask that you do not allow your child to run around whilst they are waiting to go in. Thank you.

Passing on messages / information to staff

If you need to get a message to your child’s teacher, and you do not manage to speak to a member of staff at drop off in the morning, please phone school or email our school office on admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk and they will get a message to your child’s class. Teachers do not get chance to check their emails during the day so important messages may not be seen before the end of the day.

Flu immunisation – PLEASE RETURN FORMS

If you have not yet returned the flu immunisation form, which your child brought home, please return it on Monday 28th. We need to collate the responses for the Immunisation Team who will be visiting us on Thursday 1st October. If you do not return the form, your child will not be able to have the immunisation.

Please see information issued from Public Health England this week. They have updated the symptoms to look out for when deciding if you should send your child to school.

Should I send my child to school UPDATE

Hello everyone

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the wonderful sunshine this week. It’s just what we needed and it’s been wonderful to see children running around with their friends on our school field!

Should my child attend School/Nursery?

Thank you to everyone for your support in keeping our children and staff safe by not sending your child in if they are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 or if they are not well enough to attend. Please see an important flow chart below which explains what to do if your child is unwell.

Should I send my child to school

Flu immunisation

Children in Reception to Year 6 have been given a flu immunisation letter and form to be completed. Please return these to school no later than Thursday 24th September so that our administrators can collate the responses for the Immunisation Team who will be visiting us on Thursday 1st October.

New Year 6 Captains and House Captains

Thank you to all the Year 6 children who wrote to me to put themselves forward for the position of house captains or vice captains. Miss Carr and I have spent a lot of time this week discussing which children will take on the roles this year and it was not an easy decision to make. We have stressed to children not selected that there will be opportunity for them to take on other roles over the course of the year.

As we are not able to join together at the moment for whole-school worship, we announced the names today over Teams with the help of several children and staff.  We had several technical difficulties in getting all the classes online (thank you Mr Andrews and Mrs Erasmus for your help) and we apologise for the sound quality, including where we couldn’t hear Maple announce the Darwin captain and vice captain and where Jemima’s prayer was muted! Rather than spend ages editing the video, and making you wait until next week to watch it, the video is attached below in it’s original unedited form.  Please excuse the part where I called Hazel class ‘Jebb’ by mistake – oops!

Worship 18.09.20

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Take care and stay safe
