Safeguarding procedures – informing school staff

If your child is going home with another parent/adult, please ensure that you let your child’s teacher or another member of staff know.  As part of our safeguarding procedures, we will not allow a child to go home with somebody other than the person who normally collects them unless we are informed of the alternative arrangements prior to the end of the day.

We would also like to remind parents that you must contact school by 9:30, if your child will not be in school due to illness or other circumstances.  The child’s absence will be marked as unauthorised if school is not informed by 9:30.

Special Menus – Tuesday 14th and Friday 17th 2017

The kitchen will be serving a special lunch on Tuesday 14th February and choices are:

Red – sausages

Green – vegetarian sausages

Blue – selection of wraps

They are also trialling a new lunch menu on Friday 17th February of pizza, pasta and a salad bar which they will offer on a regular basis if it is popular with the children.  For children who do not like pizza they will provide an alternative choice.

School trips and residential visits

Details of when payments etc are due for trips/visits have now been added to the calendar.

Swimming for KS2

Letters have been sent out this week regarding the swimming sessions for Years 3 and 4. Unfortunately, since sending the letters out, Oswestry Leisure Centre have changed the days and times of sessions available to us.  A new letter has been sent home today with the new dates and times.

Headlice

We have been informed of a couple of cases of headlice again so please could you check your child’s hair and treat as necessary should you find that they are affected.

Never a dull day…

It’s certainly never a dull day at Bicton, as you can see from the gallery below!  We had some unexpected visitors shortly after 7:30 this morning so it was quite an experience for the staff as well as the children arriving for Breakfast Club.

Thankfully Mrs Ross and Mrs Hill came to the rescue and stepped in to escort the horses back to their field, accompanied by Miss Moran (in some very inappropriate footwear!)  – thank you ladies 🙂 Thank you to the children for being so sensible and to all the staff who directed traffic, escorted children safely past the horses and for cleaning up what the horses left behind!
