What another fabulous England Rocks Maths Week we have had with every KS2 class taking part in this national  competition against over 4000 other schools….primary and secondary. The children have taken the spirit of this competition to heart again, and as a result have achieved some tremendous successes!

At one point the Scorpions were the top of the league, and throughout, as a school we have been in the top 5 schools. There have been some tremendous achievements from some individuals….but the best bit has been the sheer determined attitude, the true grit and  friendly competition to just be the best “timetabler” that everyone can be….I have never seen the playground so quiet at lunchtime!

The competition has ended and we have come the 3rd highest primary school in the country….an amazing achievement for a small school in Shropshire, with less than 90 KS2 children! Well done everyone!

Your achievements have been noticed by Bruno from Maths Circle, who is the mastermind behind TTRS…and in recognition of the continuing achievements of Brown Clee School, he has sent you all this special video message…..

Well done everyone…..you are true Times Table Rock Heroes!

Flu Consent 2023-2024

We are trying something new on Wednesday 6th December – an informal Coffee and Chat Drop-In Session where parents can come into school for some coffee and cake and enjoy a chat with other parents. We find that we have conversations with parents on so many themes, where there are issues with sleeping patterns, fussy eating, difficulties with encourage reading, mild behavioural challenges, that we thought it might be useful to provide the opportunity for parents to share – as so many of you have got such great ideas to remedy these issues!

We have also invited Andrea Marshall, who is an experienced child behaviouralist, so that if you have any particular burning questions or concerns she is happy to chat it over and help in anyway she can.

So please share and come along – if it is a success it might be something we can repeat!
