Our School Library
The good library system is available to access from home at https://uk.accessit.online/cth05/. Please log in to the site, using your school email and password. You can then gain the full advantage of the online library resources, such as OneSearch.
The library is open at break and lunch time, from Wednesday to Friday and afterschool from Monday to Thursday until 3:45pm and Friday until 3.30pm. This is to allow students to exchange books, complete their homework, and to read quietly. Please check the opening times on the library entrance as they vary daily.
Please Return Books
Please have a really good look at home for all outstanding library books and textbooks. Students will receive weekly automated emails to their school email account. Please return books directly to the library or to the returns box outside the library. To check which titles are on your account, please login to AccessIt.
Post-16 Textbooks
Post 16 students must arrange their own textbook loans in person at the Charnwood Library. Year 12 will need to pay their £30 deposit on Wisepay or have a confirmed Bursary application before they are able to borrow. Please email our Post-16 Coordinator at iqbals@cotham.bristol.sch.uk if you have any questions about the deposit scheme.
