Hello everyone

The weekly news this week is one full of ‘thanks.’

Thank you for the overwhelmingly positive response to our COVID-19 safety measure for all adults coming onto the school site to wear face masks/coverings. It’s vital that we all follow the measures in place, to keep us all safe and well, and we are grateful to all the adults who have supported this.

Thank you for the Harvest donations for the Shrewsbury Food Bank.

We would still welcome any further donations for the Shrewsbury Food Bank. They urgently need the following items:

• size 5 and 6 nappies
• gravy granules
• meals in a tin e.g. chilli con carne, curry, stew
• shampoo / conditioner

If you are able to donate any of the following items, please leave them in the plastic container outside the school office and we thank you in advance for your support.

Thank you for your support with ‘Show Racism the Red Card – Wear Red Day.’ 

The children have produced some wonderful artwork today, as part of ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ day. Keep an eye out on the website for a gallery of some of the children’s artwork.

Updated risk assessment

Please see our updated risk assessment below – the main changes are highlighted in green.

Reminder about paying for Clubs

Please can you make sure that any monies owing for clubs are paid in full by Friday 23rd October – the last day of this half term. Children will not be able to attend Clubs after half-term (from 2nd November) if there are monies owing. Thank you.

Finally, just a reminder that children must arrive promptly for the start of the school day. We know that there are sometimes unavoidable reasons why children are late but we are seeing an increasing number of children arriving late after their designated entrance has been closed. We cannot have lots of children from different bubbles coming through the main entrance in the morning, as this poses a potential risk to staff and other children.

Have  a good weekend.

Hello everyone

We hope you are all keeping healthy and staying safe.

Important message from Bicton Governors and Staff

We are doing everything possible to keep everyone in our school community safe and well and we thank you for your support in following our protective measures.

From Monday 12th October, we are asking all adults getting out of their vehicles on our school site, particularly at drop off and pick up times, to WEAR A FACE COVERING / MASK. 

Please remember that only one adult should be getting out of your vehicle and children should not be allowed to run around whilst waiting to go in / waiting for siblings to go in or come out at the end of the day. This is to keep you and others safe and we need everyone to respect this.

Please support us in adhering to these requests so that we can keep all of our families and staff safe and healthy, which will ultimately allow us to keep all of our children in school for as long as possible.

Thank you from Mrs Johnson, Staff and Governors

Remember…

Myddle Fun Run

Have a good weekend.

Hello everyone

I hope you have all had a good week. The change in temperature has certainly made it feel more like we are in the autumn term but thankfully our children and staff seem to be keeping well and we have less children suffering from colds and runny noses!

There is a lot of information I need to share this week, so I ask that you take a few minutes to read everything in full.

URGENT REMINDER – Parents MUST follow social distancing on our school site

Please can we remind all parents and adults dropping off / collecting children from school/nursery, that YOU MUST LEAVE THE CAR PARK IMMEDIATELY after your child has gone in or you have collected them. We cannot have groups of parents staying to chat on the car park once their child has gone in or whilst children run around/play in the trees at the end of the school day. We are doing everything we can within school to keep our children, staff and visitors safe so WE NEED YOU TO DO THE SAME.

Only one parent should get out of your vehicle at drop off or collection time and we ask that you do not allow your child to run around whilst they are waiting to go in. Thank you.

Passing on messages / information to staff

If you need to get a message to your child’s teacher, and you do not manage to speak to a member of staff at drop off in the morning, please phone school or email our school office on admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk and they will get a message to your child’s class. Teachers do not get chance to check their emails during the day so important messages may not be seen before the end of the day.

Flu immunisation – PLEASE RETURN FORMS

If you have not yet returned the flu immunisation form, which your child brought home, please return it on Monday 28th. We need to collate the responses for the Immunisation Team who will be visiting us on Thursday 1st October. If you do not return the form, your child will not be able to have the immunisation.
