Scholastic Book Fair – This Week

This week, we will be holding a Scholastic book fair – beginning tomorrow (Tuesday).

Children can purchase books in school at break. Parents/children will also be able to look through the books and make purchases at the end of the day (in the practical area) from Tuesday.

 

All classes will have been round to see the books/stationary available today – and may have returned with a wish list.

 

Books can be purchased with cash on the day or via ordering online, using the QR code below (also found on the bottom of the wish list) or by visiting bookfairs.scholastic.co.uk/pay.

 

All books sold will also raise money towards purchasing books for the school.

Brown Clee Benefice / Young Farmers Quiz Night

Please see the following flyer from Brown Clee Benefice and Young Farmers regarding a quiz night being held on Monday 23rd March:

Reminder: After-school CLubs

FOBCS – Bridgnorth Walk

Please see below from FOBCS:
FOBCS– Bridgnorth Walk- Brown Clee School Team Entry
This year’s Bridgnorth Walk takes place on Monday 4th May. We were wondering if there would be enough interest for us to enter a school team, to take part in the Junior Walk (ages 9-15) & Family Walk, both of which depart from and return to the family fun day at Cleobury North Village Hall. Early bird entry fees apply until 28th Feb- Junior Walk £10 each + £1 booking fee, Family Walk £6 each + £1 booking fee. All entry fees go to the Bridgnorth Lions Club who in turn donate to various local and national charities and good causes. 
The Junior and Family Walk routes are much shorter than the full route with the route of the family walk being fully pushchair and wheelchair accessible.
The walk is both fun and safe, and the theme for 2026 is ‘Community Matters’, as everyone comes together to celebrate the very best of our local community.
Please let us know if you would like to take part (whether it’s a yes or no!) : Bridgnorth Walk Brown Clee School Team Entry – Fill out form

School Council at Brown Clee

The School Council at Brown Clee is entirely student-led, with the heads of school council organising days/times for “working-lunch” meetings – as well as what will be discussed in the meeting before sharing any ideas and proposals.

Here’s a photo of a meeting in action from last term:

Christmas Concert and Lunch Singing

Last term, a number of KS2 pupils perform as part of Christmas Concert (alongside Of One Accord Choir and Brown Clee Choir):

 

Dragonflies also headed out to the village hall to sing for a retiree lunch group:

 

Forest School – Pond

During the summer, a pond was installed in the Forest School area.

 

We have a further plans on developing our Forest School – including extending our existing on-site area and utilising the nearby woodland (owned by the Community Land Trust) for our KS2 Forest School sessions – and may be looking at putting together some working parties in the near future. If anyone is interested in helping with this, please get in touch.

Sports Leaders – P.E. Lessons

Last term, our Y6 Sports Leaders and Y5 Fun Club Leaders, planned and delivered some P.E. lessons for Grasshoppers and Fireflies.

Snow Day Photos

Here are some pictures shared by various families during this week’s snow day:

SCHOOL CLOSURE – 9TH JAN ’26

Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to open today due to the adverse weather conditions causing obvious issue with travel, access to site and disruption to power.

 

As it is still a school day, we do have some tasks for children to try and complete:

  • Build a snowman or make a snow angel
  • Throw a snowball
  • Catch a snowflake
  • Fall over
  • Go sledging
  • Get cold hands or feet
  • Warm back up
  • But, most importantly: have fun and stay safe.

 

(If anyone does wish to send any pictures af things they’ve been up to in the snow, please feel free to email these to admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk – and these will be shared via the website/Facebook with the rest of the school).

Weather watch – Thursday Evening / Friday Morning

With ongoing potential amber weather warnings (for snow) for Thursday evening (8pm) until Friday morning (9am), we will be reviewing the forecast over the day and into the evening tomorrow (Thursday).

 

The school has no plans for closure tomorrow – unless there is a significant change between now and tomorrow morning. A decision on whether we can be open on Friday will be made on Friday morning (or Thursday evening – should conditions be particularly bad already at that point).

 

If we are forced to close, then this will be shared via the school website, school Facebook page and via Shropshire Council closure page.

Dodgeball Club – Now bookable

Please note that there was a technical error on ParentPay with dodgeball club, meaning that it was not showing up on anyone’s account to book.
This has been fixed now – and anyone wanting to book onto dodgeball club can do so.

FOBCS Christmas Sweets

This Christmas, FOBCS bought a box of Haribo for each child:

 

A massive thank you to FOBCS for the fantastic fundrasining and activities they do it school.

 

An extra thank you to our three Y6 helpers – Benji, Callum and Matilda – who delivered the the gifts to each class.

 

 

Christmas Dinner / Jumper Day

A last-minute reminder, following from dates shared earlier in the term, that tomorrow is Christmas Dinner day. If you wish to order a Christmas dinner, please order the “meat curry” for a turkey dinner or “veg curry” for the vegetarian option. These can be ordered up until 09:00 tomorrow.

 

As part of this day, children can come into school in non-uniform (ideally, with a Christmas jumper).

Christmas Tree Auction

A big thank you to Burwarton Estate for their donation of the large (~15ft) Christmas tree – which some of you may have seen in the school hall during the recent nativity performance.

 

An extra thank you this year to Anita and Duncan Pearce – who donated the smaller (~8ft) Christmas tree (situated just outside the main entrance).

 

Same as last year, we are looking to auction both trees off to raise some further funds for FOBCS (our PTA).

If anyone would like to make bid for either Christmas tree, please do so via the following link: FOBCS – Christmas Tree Auction ’25 – Fill in form
