School Closure – Friday 9th January 2026
Thank you for your patience during what’s been a disrupted first week back. We’ve been in touch with Shropshire Council and the Met Office regarding Storm Goretti, which has hit Shrewsbury.
The Met Office has issued:
• Amber Warning for snow: 8pm Thursday to 9am Friday
• Yellow Warning: 5pm Thursday to 12 noon Friday
These warnings mean they will be:
• Significant travel disruption and hazardous roads
• Possible power cuts and reduced mobile coverage
• Some rural areas becoming inaccessible
Shropshire Council’s Passenger Transport team and all of our private coach services have all confirmed that school transport will not run on Friday due to safety concerns.
With this in mind, and to keep everyone safe, Grange Primary School will be closed to all children on Friday 9th January.
While we always aim to stay open, the advice from the local authority and the Met Office makes it clear that closing is the safest option. Even if conditions seem less severe in Shrewsbury and our surrounding areas, transport issues and staffing challenges mean it’s the right call for our community.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday.
