We are delighted to share our SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) report, following last week’s inspection. We are absolutely thrilled with the inspector’s comments and what a true reflection it is of our school.

SIAMS Bicton CE VC Primary School October 2017

Just a quick note to let you know that the Harvest Celebration videos are now in the class areas for you to enjoy! Thank you again to Mr Williams for filming the performances for us.

Harvest Celebration

We hope to see you at our Harvest Celebration this Friday in the school hall at 9:25.  The children are looking forward to sharing their end-of-half-term performances with you and celebrating their achievements this term.  Please can we ask that you use the Village Hall, once the school car park is full, and refrain from parking outside the school on Bicton Lane as this can cause the road to become blocked. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

This time we will require all visitors – parents, friends and family members – to sign in on arrival and signing-in sheets will be at the main entrance for you to use on arrival and then sign out on your departure. This is part of our safeguarding procedures.

Harvest Donations

Thank you for the donations we have received so far and there is still time for you to bring a donation into school if you would like to do so.

Car Park Safety

Please can we remind adults to adhere to the speed limit when driving into and out of the school car park, particularly when dropping off at Breakfast Club.  The speed limit is there for everyone’s safety. Thank you.

Church Inspection

We are looking forward to welcoming an inspector into school this Thursday, to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of our school as a church school.

Clubs

Please remember to check the website for clubs running next half-term, just in case there are any changes.
