Head of School Message

We’ve had another busy week here in school and the children are very much into the swing of the new school year.  We have had a number of parents who are considering places for their children in September 2025 looking around our school and it has been wonderful to hear such positive comments about the nurturing environment we provide.

Our Worship Council held their first meeting next week which was a training session on how to run their own whole school worship.  They will be planning and delivering a worship every half term which is a nerve-wracking experience but a very important one for our oldest children as they prepare for life beyond Bicton.  We also welcomed Reverend Hannah for our first Open the Book worship of the new school year.

We are setting up a number of new pupil councils this year for pupils from Year 1 – Year 6.  There will be some ‘homework’ going home over the next week where children will be asked to submit applications for the councils they are interested in joining.

Gardening Morning – Saturday 12th October

We are in desperate need of some willing volunteers to help us cut back and tidy up our forest school area so that the space can be fully used and enjoyed.  If you would like to help, please bring along some gardening equipment (wheelbarrows, pruning shears etc!) from 9am on the 12th October.  FOBs will be providing bacon baps, teas and coffees!

Friends of Bicton

We are on the look out for parents/carers to join our Friends of Bicton team!

Friends of Bicton School (FOBS) is a registered charity (No. 1093376) run by volunteers to raise valuable funds that benefit the school and nursery.  This can be helping to organise an event, run a stall, or by simply coming along to support one of our functions. It is a great opportunity to meet other parents and help contribute towards resources and facilities to benefit your child or children during their time at Bicton CE Primary School and Nursery.

We would like to invite you to a tea/coffee social morning on Friday 27th September from 9am to come and find out a bit more about how you could help.

If you are not able to attend but are still interested in joining, please contact Sam Horton on 07816226774.

The Corbet School Open Day

Friday 13th September, 2024

Welcome back!

Hello and welcome back to school!

We hope that you have had a lovely and restful summer and are looking forward to the new term as much as we are in Maple class.

We have had a very busy 1st full week back in school. We have been learning the ‘meet and greet’ song in French. In Science, we have been learning about sound vibrations and how sound travels. We did a mini investigation with a drum and some rice to show how the size of vibrations change depending on the loudness of the sound.

For Roald Dahl day, we made our own bookmarks and we had a lovely afternoon reading with some children from nursery. We also took a class photo to show off our amazing Roald Dahl day costumes!

Please continue to read with your child regularly. The children should have brought home their free read book and their new reading record. Logins for Times Tables Rock Stars will be going home next week. New spellings will be given out each week. There will be no traditional spelling test but you may wish to practise these further at home.

Head of School Message

What a brilliant first full week back in school we have had, topped off with a day celebrating Roald Dahl today!

I have been so impressed with the way the children have been coming into school in the mornings.  We have had so many happy faces and punctuality and attendance has been excellent – thank you all very much for your support with this.  The children have all settled well into their new classes and or/new teachers and support staff.  I have been particularly impressed with our 7 new reception children, they have made an excellent start to their school life.

Class Newsletters are available on the ‘Classrooms’ area of our school website.  These will give you a helpful overview of what your child will be learning in school and ways in which you can support us at home.  Teachers will continue to share photos and updates via Class Dojo and the school website so please check regularly.   A quick reminder that the easiest way to get a message to a class teacher is via admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk.  Class teachers do not monitor messages on Class Dojo.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Mavin

House and Sports Captains

We are delighted to introduced our new House Captains for 2024-2025.  We have also appointed a Sports Captain to lead our younger children in sports activities.  We know they will all do a fantastic job of leading their house teams, encouraging others to show our school values and being great ambassadors for our school.
