Dear parents/carers,

We have had a lovely week in school enjoying the sunshine and even managing to play on the field a couple of times! It has been lovely to see our new Reception children getting to know the other year groups.  As the weather turns colder, please ensure named coats are brought into school.  We are already accumulating a lot of unnamed school uniform so please make sure jumpers/cardigans are labelled with your child’s name.

Some dates for your diary:

Wednesday 8th October 9.15am: Harvest Service at Bicton Church

Friday 10th October: ‘Hello Yellow’ – wear yellow for World Mental Health Day (non-uniform)

Wednesday 22nd October – Parent dropins

Thursday 23rd October 2.45pm: Reception – Year 6 PE Dance Showcase in the school hall

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are now at the end of our second full week of the new school year, and it’s been a joy to see how quickly children have settled into their routines. Classrooms are already full of learning, laughter, and the positive energy that makes our Bicton community so special.

There have been lots of prospective parents visiting school this week in preparation for choosing a school for their child. We would really appreciate your recommendations of our school to family/friends to help our numbers continue to grow.

This half term, we are focusing on the value of perseverance – encouraging our children to keep going, even when things get tough. Whether it’s learning a new skill, solving a tricky problem, or being a good friend, we are proud of how our pupils are showing resilience and determination every day.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a restful weekend.

Mrs Mavin
