As shared previously, a decision on whether we will be open tomorrow will be made early tomorrow (or tonight if already significantly severe).

Considering the uncertainty, Celebration Assembly will definitely be cancelled.

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)

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

Following our most recent nominations for the role of Parent Governor (Parent Governor Election – Brown Clee CE Primary School) , we would like to confirm that Claire Jones will be beginning as a Parent Governor.

As always, a massive thank you to Claire, and all the governors, for their vital role they play in school.

Next week, clubs will be live on Parent pay for Clubs starting in January 2026.

There will be a fun book club on Monday, a sports clubs on Tuesday, a KS2 drawing club on Wednesday, Create Club on Thursday and a sport club on Friday.

Please let me know your wrap around care club requirements from January, even if you already regularly book care.

Please also remember to contact us to cancel any wrap around care that you do not require to avoid being charged for those sessions.

In addition, please remember that care club invoices are due for payment within 2 weeks from the date of Invoice, failure to pay invoices in a timely manner may result in care club facilities being withdrawn until balances are brought up to date, or arrangements are in place.

If you are have any queries please let me know as soon as possible, kind regards Kerry
