Head of School Message

We have had a busy and productive week in school this week. The children are well into the swing of the new term and very much enjoying getting to know any new staff that are working in their classrooms. We would like to say a warm welcome to the new children and families who have joined us in Nursery, Willow and Maple – welcome to the Bicton family!

We are busy gearing up for the first residential of the school year which is next Wednesday – Friday for our Year 5/6 children to Arthog. If you were not able to attend the Q&A session on Thursday, please see the slides that Mr Harris shared Arthog 2025 presentation.

We would just like to remind parents/carers to speak to your children about leaving the school grounds safely. Children/adults should only exit via the pedestrian gate not via the main gates. Bicton Lane can have cars travelling at speed so children must cross carefully, accompanied by an adult. If your child walks home alone, please remind them of how to safely cross a road https://www.roadwise.co.uk/schools/using-the-road/green-cross-code/

World Book Day is soon approaching (Thursday 6th March) and as part of our whole school approach to encouraging reading for pleasure, all of the children in school are invited to name one book they think other children should read before they leave Bicton. This should be their favourite story and one they think other children will enjoy too! Please follow the link to add your child’s choice: Book Choice.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Mavin

Success at Multi skills

A small group of Year 5/6 children enjoyed a morning of Multi skills at the Corbet School in Baschurch. They had a brilliant time competing in indoor curling, soft tip archery and boccia. They demonstrated great sportsmanship and teamwork. Well done everyone!
