Head of School Message

School has felt very autumnal this week as the colder and wetter weather has drawn in!  Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat every day in school and appropriate footwear for the wet weather.

We have had our Year 4 parents in school hearing about our Liverpool residential in June next year.  The powerpoint shared with parents will be put onto Class Dojo and shared on the Maple class page on the website.

A group of Year 5 and 6 children enjoyed a trip today to the Shrewsbury Club organised by Shropshire Tennis.  They all behaved impeccably and had a wonderful time doing some tennis activities, having a Q&A session with some professional players, and watching the W100 quarter final games.

  • Parents are welcome to drop into classes to have a look at their child’s work and speak to the class teacher between 2 – 3pm and 3.30-5.30pm on Tuesday 22nd October, and 2-2.30pm and 3.30-5.30pm on Wednesday 23rd October

Head of School Message

Firstly, a huge thank you again for so many of you joining us at our Harvest Service this morning.  We were able to take a huge number of donations to the Shrewsbury Food Bank thanks to your generosity and we are very grateful for all of your support.

As the colder weather draws in, please ensure your child is suitably equipped for cold playtimes with a coat, and hat and gloves if necessary.  We are very much hoping the sunshine stays out for our Gardening Day tomorrow.! Please join anytime from 9am for as long as you are able to.

If we don’t see you tomorrow, have a lovely weekend.

Rowan’s Marathon

One of our Year 6 pupils has taken on a wonderful fundraising mission in a bid to raise money for our school:

“I am walking a marathon during October to raise money for Bicton School.  I initially wanted to raise money for people who couldn’t afford to go on trips but Mrs Mavin said she would speak to the teachers to see what we could spend the money on and I think their idea is better.  So now I am walking to raise money to buy playground games that everyone can enjoy.  I wanted to do this because we now live 1.1 mile from school and I have started walking home, and we also go for walks after tea, and I thought it would be a good idea to raise money for the school by getting people to sponsor me for walking!  I thought it would be cool to walk a Marathon as that is a long way, 26.2miles.  First I wanted to raise £500, but we have beaten that, we now want to raise at least £750.  If you want to sponsor me, it doesn’t matter if it’s 50p, every bit will be spent on games for us to play with.  We are going to put a bucket in reception so you can put money in if you want to.  Thank you!”  Rowan Leeding
