The Library is open every school day from 8:15am to 5:00pm and is a safe place for all students to come to read, relax and do work. The Library has over 15,000 books, 5,000 catalogued web resources and a number of specialist databases for student use, as well as laptops and computers available to students throughout the day.
The Library is the centre for literacy throughout the school with all Year 7 & 8 classes having regular Library lessons. During these lessons students read and choose books and are set reading targets to complete at home. The Library also teaches a comprehensive information literacy skills scheme of work for all Year 7 classes.
We run a reading buddies programme for Year 7 student in need of a little extra help with reading. They work one-on-one with 6th Formers and Prefects to build their confidence and encourage them with their reading.
