Wednesday 24th May, 2023 Dance Club Performance Every Monday after school, we hold a dance club led by Miss Thornton from Crossbar Coaching. The children are from Year 2 to Year 6, and they have learnt about a range of different types of dance from tap to Irish dancing. Recently they have been practicing a contemporary dance, and this morning they performed it in front of the school. They all really enjoy taking part, and they received some fabulous feedback from their peers. There are spaces for after half term, and so if your child would like to join and are in Year 2 or above, then please email careclub@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk to book your child’s place with Mrs Steph Boxall, our Extended Schools Coordinator.

Thursday 18th May, 2023 Visit from the Police We have had an exciting assembly this morning when we had a visit from two Police Officers – Police Constable Davies and Police Community Support Officer Hyde. They talked about their different roles and then the children had the opportunity to ask some questions. They wanted to know about Police dogs and the different breeds, the different aspects of their roles (best bits and not so good bits!), what was the uniform like and was it comfortable and how many different police vehicles they have. The Reception children then had the opportunity to learn about the police car and sit in it – they even turned the blue lights and siren on – it was very loud! @Bridgnorthcops

Thursday 20th April, 2023 Little Explorers Pre-School Fundraising for new Outdoor Area Little Explorers needs OUR help!

We work very closely with Little Explorers as they are a vital facility for the community, and as we have so much outdoor space, and with the recent removal of the rotten, old adventure playground we have offered this space to pre-school. But it is an empty plot of land at the moment and Pre-School need resources – so we want to help them as much as possible. Their current fundraiser is to ‘Grow a Sunflower’:
