SEND Meet and Chat Family Drop-In (The Lantern)

Are you a parent carer of a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?

Join us for an informal drop-in session where you can ask questions, get advice, and explore the support available to you within Shropshire. Speak to a range of professionals who can help with:

• Education, health, and Care Plans (EHCPs)
• School support and advocacy
• Health and Wellbeing for children with SEND
• Social care and family support
• Mental health and emotional wellbeing
• Advice for navigating SEND challenges

Each session will have different professionals available, so come along, have a chat, and find the help you need!

We kindly remind parents and carers that requests for term-time holidays will not be authorised, in line with government guidance and our school attendance policy. Regular attendance is vital for children’s learning, progress, and wellbeing.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support in ensuring your child’s consistent attendance.

If you have any questions or need support regarding attendance, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.

Welcome Back!

We hope all our families had a restful and enjoyable half term. It’s been lovely to see the children return with such enthusiasm and positivity for the new half term ahead.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who completed our recent parent/carer survey. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will be shared with you once it has been disseminated.

Next Thursday afternoon, all classes will be taking part in a fun and energetic skipping workshop. If you are able to, please consider making a voluntary contribution via School Gateway to help support the cost of this event. Every contribution is appreciated and helps us continue offering enriching experiences for our pupils.

This month, our school value is Peace, inspired by the Bible story Jesus Calms the Storm. We’ll be exploring how peace can be found in our daily lives and how we can help create a calm and caring environment for ourselves and others.

Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs Mavin

A quick message to let you know that pupils will no longer be able to purchase juice cartons at lunchtime after half term.

Dear parents/carers,

We have made it to the end of the first half term! And finished off with an extremely busy week full of hard work, parent meetings and dance performances! A huge thank you to those of you who came to meet with your child’s class teacher this week to see how they have settled in.  If you were not able to attend, please contact your child’s class teacher via admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk and they will arrange a catch up with you.

We would be very grateful if parents/carers are able to spare a few minutes to complete our survey: Parent/Carer Survey Autumn 2025.  This helps us to know what we are doing well, and what we can do better on and we truly value all of your input.

Have a lovely week and we will look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 4th November.

Mrs Mavin
