The 2026 Library Challenge is underway! Running from 11th July to 12th September, this is a fantastic chance for children to participate in a Time Travel Challenge where they can use all forms at their disposal to work through challenges, earn rewards, step up in levels and eventually reach GOLD!

For more information, please see the attached poster or click on the link below. Good Luck! 

Welcome to The Library Challenge! | Gloucestershire Libraries

All Autumn Term wraparound and club payments are now live on ParentPay. As with last term, you are able to pay the full amount in one go or choose your own instalments for the amount and date which best suits you.

Please note, as previously mentioned, due to challenges faced challenges in collecting wrap-around fees, all clubs must be paid for in full before the first session. 

How do I find the payments?

When you log into your ParentPay account, you will be able to find the information under “other payment items”. Please check that the clubs you have been allocated match what you have booked.

If you use a Tax-Free Childcare account for your payments, you are still able to pay for clubs in this way. Please let us know when you have made a direct payment to the school so we can reconcile the amount on ParentPay.

For new starters joining us in September, please be aware that your spaces have been booked. You will receive confirmation on ParentPay in September once your child is officially on our school roll and their ParentPay account has been activated.

If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school office.

While September may seem like a long way off, it will come round quickly! The school immunisation team are due to be in school on Thursday 10th September 2026 to deliver flu vaccinations to children in Reception to Year 6. 

Please see the letter and leaflet shared previously on Jotter to ensure that you consent or decline ahead of September.

Thank you for your cooperation.
