Autumn Term 2 2026 Extra-curricular clubs and activities
Dear Families,
We are delighted to announce our school clubs for the second half of the Autumn Term. These clubs will run from 9th November 2026 (second week back) up to 11th December 2026 (no clubs last week of term), unless otherwise stated below.
The clubs will only be available to be booked from Tomorrow 23rd October 2026 at 10.30am and will close at 12pm Wednesday 4th November 2026.
Bookings will need to be made via the booking system on School Spider and you can access it through our school website or the School Spider App, (this is the same place you book parents evening appointments).
Please remember – usernames are your email now. If using the School Spider App, please download the latest version first, as it may say ‘closed’ if you’ve not got the latest App. A guide to using the school spider app is available on our website here.
We strongly recommend using the School Spider app and advise that you make sure you have the notifications turned on, as we will contact you through school spider if we need to advise you if a club is cancelled etc, as clubs that are held outside may be cancelled in the event of unsuitable weather.
Please note all other communications will still come through Arbor/ParentPay.
Once you are on the app, you need to go to the dashboard, tap on the 3 horizontal lines in the top right corner to get the menu, tap on Bookings and Payments, click on extra-curricular clubs, select the required club and select all available weeks, tap the arrow at the bottom, then add to cart, then checkout, then checkout again and finally complete order. Once you have checked out you will get a confirmation that you have booked a place. If you are unable to select a club that means that the club is full.
ALSO, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECKOUT YOUR BASKET OTHERWISE THE PLACES WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED.
If you prefer you can sign in to School Spider though the web site and this is the link.
All club details and timings will be available to view on the school website under Sports & Clubs – Extra-curricular clubs & activities.
