Our aim is to provide pupils and parents with an update on activities in the library and share information on our comprehensive collection.
We are fortunate to have a library that is an integral part of our learning.
The library provides:
The library is open from 8.30am to 3.00pm daily, Lunchtimes 1.15pm to 1.45pm. Parents and pupils are welcome to borrow books on Thursday afternoons from 3.00pm—3.30pm.
We have a great team of supportive pupil librarians. Each has applied for their position and they are timetabled on for duties before school and at lunchtimes. Some librarians will be responsible for updating photographs and writing reviews.
Junior pupils may borrow picture books. Middle and Senior School pupils are able to borrow two books at a time.
This will be helpful for parents to select books that will appeal to readers of all ages and abilities.
