The next meeting of the Friends of Brown Clee School (FOBCS) will be held next Tuesday 16th January at 5.30pm here in school. Everyone is very welcome to come and join us.

We have realised that the post from the start of term that should have been sent out to all of those subscribed to the email bulletin last Friday did not actually get sent out by the automated system.

Here is a link to the initial post: https://browncleeschool.org.uk/happy-new-year-and-welcome-back/

We are in the process of a website upgrade – so this should hopefully not be a re-occurring issue. You may receive the initial post alongside this post as it has been re-added today.

We have been asked by the Schools Admissions Team at Shropshire Council to remind any parents who have children due to start in Reception in September 2024 that the deadline for applying is next Monday 15th January 2024. You can apply for a place on the Shropshire Website (please see the link below). If you know of anyone who has not yet applied for a place please could you let them know the deadline. Applications made after this date will be considered late by the Council and may mean that your child does not get a place in your first choice school.

If you have any queries regarding the application process, please contact the School Admissions Team via email school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk

Firstly, we hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.

Please could we ask that you log onto ParentPay and book school meals for next Monday onwards as we have noted that numbers appear very low. As the latest that you can book a meal for your child is 48 hours in advance, the latest you will be able to book a meal for Monday 8th January is tomorrow. It is also possible to book meals up until the end of this half term or up until Easter.

We look forward to seeing all the children again on Monday for another busy term.

Everyone at Brown Clee School would like to with all our families a merry and enjoyable Christmas and the very best of New Years.  We would like to thank you for all your support through this long Autumn Term and look forwards to welcoming children back to school on Monday 8th January 2024.

A quick reminder that tomorrow, 20th December, is a Christmassy themed non-uniform day for all children. Please ensure children are warm though and have a waterproof coat.

Don’t forget Pippa will be serving Christmas lunch on our last day of term, Wednesday 20th December. If you would like your child to have a Christmas lunch, please could you log onto ParentPay to order by FRIDAY 15th DECEMBER so that we can let Pippa know numbers in time for her to place the order for the food. If you do not know your child’s ParentPay log in, please let the school office know and they will be able to let you have this.

There will only be 2 options on that day – Roast Turkey or vegetable quiche – Pippa will be unable to provide jacket potatoes or sandwiches. If you would like your child to have roast turkey please choose Chicken Supreme and if they would like the vegetarian option please choose Chickpea & veggie puff. If you have ordered your child’s meal in advance and have chosen a jacket potato or sandwich, please could you log onto ParentPay and amend this.
