MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

MARCH

Pre-Loved School Uniform Sale – Support Our School, Help the Planet, Save some pennies! – 24^th and 26^th March at 3:00pm in the school playground

As Spring is well and truly here, you might be thinking about a wardrobe spring clean.  Rather than leaving pre-loved uniform in cupboards, we’re inviting our school community to give these items a second life.  This is a great opportunity for families to pick up good-quality uniform at very affordable prices while helping reduce waste and supporting our lovely school.

Please consider donating any school uniform or school shoes that your child has outgrown. 

Please ensure items are clean and in good condition.

Donations to be left at reception no later than Monday 23rd March.

Thank you for helping us build a more sustainable, supportive school community. Every donation and purchase contribute to our fundraising for the school.

APRIL

Springo – Saturday, 18 April at 6pm in the Bicton School Hall

Put a little spring in your step with a fun and fantastic evening of Bingo at the school hall for parents/carers, children, family and friends!  All are welcome!

Tickets on sale from Monday, 23 March, £5 for a book of 6.  Keep your eye out for our table outside school in the coming weeks.  Tickets to be purchased by Tuesday, 14 April to secure your place.

JUNE

FOBS Family Football Fun – Friday, 19 June at 7pm in the Bicton School Field

We are so excited to put on a FOBS Football Match for parents/carers and children.  Get those calves stretched and football boots ready! Details to follow.

Gardening request

FOBs is keen to keep using our green fingers and to get the children involved with gardening – there are some raised beds at the back of school that we have our eyes on!  In the meantime, we would be very grateful for any spare pots and compost to be donated for starting some tomato plants. We’d also love for any parent or carer who loves gardening to get in touch with us!

Sponsorship

A HUGE THANK YOU to Sarah Stewart (mum of George and Max) who made a very generous donation to FOBS from her business Elevate Mortgage.  As the end of the tax year approaches, would you consider making a donation through your business?

Courageous Advocacy interviewed Miss Merricks today about her trip to Uganda as part of the One Love Project.  She told us all about how the fundraising efforts here at Bicton helped the children at the school in Uganda and the children were fascinated to hear about school life there.

Well done Miss Merricks and Courageous Advocacy!
