The Library is open from 8.00am
until 4.30pm and all students are welcome during
break and lunchtimes as well as before and after
school. The stock of over 16,000 quality books
is available for borrowing by staff or students.
Project loans can also be provided
for staff wishing to take collections of books
to class for research work. Staff and students
may use the Library as a base for research,
as a quiet reading area in the fiction section,
as a study area, or for accessing CD ROM or
the Internet . Year 7 and 8 English classes
are timetabled to use the reading area for one
lesson each fortnight.
Some students receive extra
literacy lessons on an Integrated Learning System
using the Library computers and there is also
a Paired Reading scheme, whereby Sixth Form
students spend time on a daily basis encouraging
their Year 7 partners to develop the enjoyment
of reading.
The Library also promotes reading
by arranging competitions and quizzes regularly.
There is also a Book Club for buying books and
an enthusiastic Book Reviewing Team.
Every effort is made to ensure
that learning is as easy and enjoyable as possible.
