Please see below the Film Night being held at school next Friday (13th February). Tickets available from the school office.

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.

We hope you all have had a good Christmas and New Year.

We are looking forward to everyone returning on Tuesday 6^th January.

Please see the following letter , containing some key information ahead of next term: Welcome Back Letter (Jan 26)

Please see further information for after-school clubs – which begin next week: Afterschool Clubs – Spr (1) 26

Clubs can be booked via ParentPay.

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).

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
