Welcome back to school following the Easter break.

We have lots on in term 5 despite the short term of just four weeks.

Please check out the events below in 'Important dates coming up'.

It has been lovely seeing the children enjoy the OPAL experience this week.

Enjoying our fabulous grounds, with the added bonus of the sunshine, has been great. We hope that these images give you a sense of their enjoyment.

This May Half Term, Gloucestershire County Council will provide families in receipt of Free School Meals, who sign up to this offer, with vouchers to assist with food costs during the school holidays.             

The scheme is for children in reception to year 11 who receive Pupil Premium (benefits-related) free school meals and attend a school in Gloucestershire.
They are unable to consider college and sixth form students, nor children who receive infant free school meals (available to all children from reception to year 2) - they are not eligible for this scheme. 

To find out more about the scheme and to apply, parents can visit: FAQs | Gloucestershire County Council

Families who have signed up previously do not need to re-register for the May Half Term holiday vouchers - you will already have been included. Families that have previously signed up will need to contact them with any changes to their circumstances (e.g. if the number of children eligible increases or decreases). To ensure they reach all those who are eligible, they are encouraging parents that have not previously signed up, to sign up as soon as they can.

Using vouchers – vouchers need to be used will only be awarded once the parent has registered for the scheme and cannot be backdated. Vouchers are valid for 6 months, although should be used in the holiday period in which they are awarded. If vouchers are not claimed and have expired, they cannot be re-issued. Vouchers not received should be queried via the Microsoft Form HERE by the end of the holiday period.  

Applications for holiday FSM vouchers for the May Half Term 2025 will be open from the 29th Aprill until midday on 13th May.
Voucher emails will be sent from week commencing 19th May.

If parents have not received vouchers by 26th May, please submit a query via the Microsoft Form HERE
