If we’re unable to collect your waste due to the bad weather, please:

The following pages provide information on all State Schools in Shropshire, though at the time of writing the closures seem to be as much of a blanket as the snow which is lying several inches (or should that be centimetres) thick across the county. Both Special Schools will also be closed tomorrow.
Primary schools, Secondary schools & Special schools.
