Friends of Bicton School have been incredibly lucky and have been awarded one ‘Golden Bond’ charity place for someone to represent us at the London Marathon, which takes place on Sunday 23rd April 2017.
We would like to invite interested parents, carers, staff and former students (aged 18 and over) to apply to take part and commit to raising a minimum of £800 in sponsorship for FOBS.
The closing date for applications is Monday 28th November and we will notify you as soon as possible after this date if you have been successful.
We will support you during your training and with any fundraising events you may choose to hold.
Bicton School is incredibly grateful for all the support that FOBS provides, which, in the past, has helped to pay for computers, sports equipment, school trips and library books.
Please speak to the office for an application form or contact Francesca Hutcheson by email francescahutcheson@yahoo.co.uk for more information.
Thank you!

Safety alert

Following the attempted abduction last week, we received the following email this afternoon (Thursday) from the Local Authority:

Further to the incident that occurred in the Weston Rhyn area last week, a similar suspicious incident occurred in Oswestry on Tuesday this week.  

Our advice to schools is the same and our Crime Prevention Officer suggests some stranger-danger guidance in assemblies and to consider informing parents and advise pupils and students not to walk to/from school alone.

We would like to assure parents and guardians that we have spoken to all children about stranger awareness and keeping themselves safe but if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
