Laptops loaned from school

We are aware that some laptops loaned from school will not connect to the internet when the children log in as a pupil, despite us altering the settings to enable them to do so. We are working as quickly as we can to get this problem resolved.

If you collected a laptop on Wednesday and you have not already contacted us to report the issue, please can you do so as a matter of urgency by emailing the school office at admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk

We will then confirm what we need you to do and your child’s teacher will be informed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

URGENT – Critical worker/vulnerable children provision

Good afternoon everyone

Thank you for completing the online form requesting a critical worker/vulnerable child place. We have had a very high number of requests for places which we are working through as quickly as we can.

The details of the provision will be posted on the website later today but, in the meantime, your child’s teacher will be contacting you via email/Class Dojo/Tapestry to confirm if your child has a full-time place from tomorrow. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL/NURSERY UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE A CONFIRMED PLACE.

Thank you for your continued support and stay safe.

SCHOOL CLOSED TO ALL PUPILS TUESDAY 5TH JANUARY

Good evening parents,

Following the very late announcement by our Prime Minister that all primary schools are closed with immediate effect, as part of the national lockdown, we need you to take the following action:

On Tuesday 5th January, we are closed to ALL pupils.

We need all parents to complete the form below as a matter of urgency by midday on Tuesday 5th.

Vulnerable /Critical worker form

We will contact parents tomorrow afternoon to verify eligibility of critical worker status (see government guidance) which you will be asked to provide evidence of. We will then be in a position to confirm whether your child has a school place from Wednesday 6th January.

Depending on numbers, we may have to prioritise which children can attend school as it is vital that numbers are as low as possible. Please support us in protecting our staff, children and families, and the wider community.

Please note if you do not complete the form, you will not be guaranteed a place for your child even if you are eligible.

We know this will undoubtedly cause disruption to you as working parents. The education of your children remains our first priority and remote learning will be provided for all children at home from Wednesday 6th January. Further details will follow tomorrow and we ask that you continue to check the website, Class Dojo and Tapestry.

Please stay safe and look after yourselves.

Mrs Johnson and staff x
