The library has been stocked with over 2,000 brand new books which makes our catalogue over 4,000 books! Our library consists of a non-fiction and fiction section.
The library is vital to our school not just because it enriches learning and supports academic achievement but also because it is a quiet, safe space for many of our students who prefer a calmer environment at break times. We have a fantastic range of books which are regularly updated, with students actively encouraged to suggest new titles they would like us to buy for the library.
The library is a hive of activity during break times as we have a range of board games, chess sets and a giant jigsaw puzzle to keep students engaged and a wonderful group of student librarians in charge of signing books in and out.
Students are also able to access our bank of chrome books to complete homework assignments during these times.
As well as being the base for library lessons for our KS3 students it is also used for a range of targeted literacy interventions to support our students, such as Sparx, Lexia and Fresh Start Phonics. It is also an important space for our Year 11 students to use for quiet revision in the run up to their GCSE exams and we maintain a full range of revision texts which are available to them.
We run several competitions throughout the year, such as the Christmas Writing Competition, Guess the Masked Reader and the Great British Book Off on World Book Day with lots of prizes to be won. They are very popular!

Role of Student Librarians
Our student librarians are integral to the day to day running of the library and have been trained to use the Reading Cloud system so that they are able to help other students find books in our catalogue, as well as loan and return books. Student librarian duties are carried out to a maximum of 2 per week during their break and lunch times, following a rota that is on display in the library.
