We hope to be open tomorrow but that will depend on the safety of site and the roads for bus and staff travel, we will try to let you know later today”

Sorry but due to the weather conditions the Carol Concert on Tuesday 12th December has been cancelled.

Due to the heavy snow fall and the forecast temperature drop this evening we will be closed tomorrow (Monday 11th December) and we hope to reopen on Tuesday.
Thank you to parents for your understanding during these adverse weather conditions.

I am sure parents are aware that there is very heavy disruptive snow predicted for most of Sunday, this may affect our ability to open on Monday. We will let parents know as soon as possible on Monday morning if the school will be closed, via the usual means. Could we please remind you to listen to BBC Radio Shropshire (96FM) or Free Radio (103.1FM) for up to date information on school closures or check the BBC Radio Shropshire website www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire along with the school website https://corbetschool.net

Once again, Mrs Williams and her helpers from Oak house will be collecting food items to take to Shrewsbury Food Bank.

Shrewsbury Food Bank opened in 1993 and was the third foodbank to open in the country. The food bank is organised by 55 volunteers who also run 4 other community projects including support for parents and carers of young children in the Shrewsbury area, community cage football project and they also provide clothing and interview advice to job seekers, all free of charge.

Last year Corbet School students made an outstanding effort and donated several large boxes of food but we would like to beat that again this year! Currently 60 people per week rely on Shrewsbury Food Bank and they have given us a list of ‘most wanted’ items that would make a huge difference to someone in your local community this Christmas so please give if you can.

The donation box can be found in the foyer outside room 25 and the items include:

Milk (long life, semi skimmed), Sugar, dried spaghetti, Male grooming products (deodorant, shaving etc), fruit juice (long life), tin of ham or turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, carton of custard, tinned fruit salad, long life cream, mince pies, Christmas pudding, biscuits, chocolates, Christmas crackers.

In the new year we will be visited by the manager of the foodbank who will feed back on how our donations helped others over Christmas.

For more information please visit http://www.barnabascommunityprojects.org/foodbank.html  or come and speak to Mrs Williams or a member of Oak House.

 

On Friday 15th December the School Canteen will be serving Christmas Lunch. This will only be available to pupils who have pre-ordered. These pre-order sales will be taking place during morning break on Monday 4th, Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th December in the School Hall. The cost of this lunch is £2.35, pupils who would like to order a Christmas Lunch should come to the School Hall to pay for this during morning break on 4th, 5th or 6th. Payment will be taken at the time of the pre-order and their names will be registered as paid. This eases the burden on the canteen staff on the day. Any pupils in receipt of free school meals or with a pre-paid card do not need to pay but will still need to notify us as to whether or not they would like a Christmas Lunch. On the morning of Friday 15th they will then be given a ticket to present to the canteen at lunchtime to exchange for their lunch.
On Friday 15th December the canteen will be closed at morning break-time and there will be no morning break provision for pupils.
Pupils will not be allowed to leave the premises during the school day. Any pupils not wishing to have a Christmas Lunch will need to bring a packed lunch with them.
