Welcome back to all the children and their families;  it was lovely to catch up with several parents this morning.

Staff have been really impressed and pleasantly surprised with how children in all classes have settled into school today. Children were all keen to catch up with and make new friends, as well as share their news and scrapbooks from the summer holidays.

Clubs

The after-school clubs are currently being updated on the website calendar.  Please could we ask you to write a message in your child’s home-school/link book if they are staying for clubs; hopefully older children will be able to remember if they are staying! This will save Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal having to contact you if your child is unsure about after-school arrangements.

Free school Meals

Further to the letter you received from us before the end of last term, just a reminder that all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are now automatically eligible for free school meals.  Could we please ask that you still inform school if you are in receipt of welfare benefits, as this may entitle Bicton School to register for additional funding.

Many thanks.

Mrs Natalie Johnson

If anyone has any board games that are no longer used, Mrs Barker would very much appreciate them for Games Club on Wednesdays.

Thank you.

All medicine that has been kept in school this term for children will need to be collected from school on Thursday afternoon, the last day of term. Children who go home on the bus, any medicine will be put safely in their bags.

Any relevant medication will need to be returned at the start of term in September.

Thank you.

We look forward to seeing parents, families and friends at our Celebration Assembly this Friday at 9:25 a.m.  Please could we remind people not to park on Bicton Lane and to use the village hall car park once the School car park is full.

Thanks for your support.
