Parent Consultations

We are really looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to you about your child or children towards the end of this half term.

Our parent consultations will be taking a slightly different format this year.  Instead of booking an appointment time slot, parents will be welcomed into the classrooms at any time within the given time frames.  The teacher(s) will be available to talk to you about how your child has settled into their new class or year group, and you will have opportunity to look at the work your child has completed so far this year.

We will be opening up the classrooms to parents from 2pm to 3pm, and then from 3.30pm – 5.30pm on Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd October.

Formal parent consultation appointments with bookable appointment slots will take place in the Spring term.

Parent Lunches

We are delighted to be able to invite parents in on a half-termly basis to enjoy a school lunch with your child on Wednesdays.

This will begin with parents from Willow Class invited to join their child on Wednesday 6th November.  There is no requirement to pre-order, and Claire in the kitchen will be cooking a roast dinner or a jacket potato if you prefer.

If you would like to join your child, your child’s sQuid account will be charged £3. Please let the school office know if you are able to attend.

Staff News

Ms Arblaster

Ms Arblaster has sadly taken the decision to leave Bicton School due to ill health.  Ms Arblaster was hugely popular amongst children and staff and we would like to thank her for the care and dedication she showed during her time with us.  She would like to wish all the children and parents well and thank you for your support during the last few years – she will miss you all very much. I’m sure you will join us in wishing her the very best as she moves to Staffordshire to be nearer her grandson, Freddie.

Mrs Benyon

Mrs Benyon is currently absent from school but is expected to return before the half term.  Mrs Rebecca Hilton is covering Birch Class in her absence on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Harvest Donations

As part of our Harvest Celebrations, we will be taking a donation to the Shrewsbury Food Bank after the Harvest Service on Friday 11th October. If you are able to give a donation, please leave it at the table set up outside the main office before Friday 11th.

We welcome donations of any non-perishable items but the Food Bank is in particular need of soup, microwave rice, jam/spread, tinned main meals, laundry tablets, UHT milk

Shrewsbury Food Bank organises and distributes parcels of donated food, toiletries, cleaning products and household items to individuals and families every week.

They seek to help those that find themselves in times of real hardship by addressing their most basic of needs – food and household items.

Food banks are an essential service in communities across the country and in the last few years they have helped thousands of people in need. Through foodbank PLUS, Shrewsbury Food Bank is now able to help people beyond the short term fix and empower them to face a more positive future.

Communication Reminder

A quick reminder that if you need to get a message to your child’s class teacher, the quickest method is via email to admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk.  Class Dojo messages are no longer monitored and so messages may be missed.
