Pet Service
A message from Reverend Hannah:
Dear Friends,
This Sunday morning, 11am, we are having a Pet Service at Bicton Church. You are most welcome to bring yours along! Equally, you don’t need a pet in order to attend (!)- all are warmly invited, as it’s an opportunity to thank God for our non-human friends and to celebrate the diversity of life we are blessed with, whatever our circumstances.
If you have a pet but he/she isn’t coming along, you could bring a toy version or something to represent them.
Do join us if you’d like to…
With Blessings,

Sports Day
One of the absolute highlights of the week was Sports Day, and what an incredible day it was! The children truly outdid themselves—not only with their athletic efforts but in demonstrating the school’s values of respect, perseverance and teamwork. From the sprints to the relays, it was a celebration of energy and encouragement, with plenty of smiles and cheers all round. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who came along to support; your presence and enthusiasm were so appreciated and added to the special atmosphere.
The results of the day were as follows:
- Ruby – 133 points
- Amethyst – 123 points
- Emerald – 114 points
- Sapphire – 113 points
Congratulations to Team Ruby, who were this year’s champions! A special shout-out to Beth and Ellis, our wonderful Year 6 house captains, whose pride and excitement as they ran the victory lap with their trophy was a lovely sight. Thank you also to those of you who wrote to the school to share your experience of Sports Day—we’re so pleased you had such a fantastic time.
Cricket Success!
Our Cricket team recently won the local schools’ Cricket Tournament hosted by The Corbet School!
