Library

The Library is a space for students to enjoy reading by selecting books from a wide range of genres and ability levels. We have access to 15 chrome books, audio books, and interactive reading apps available for students to engage with in our literacy programs. Pupils have a dedicated library period each week during their English lessons to enjoy reading for pleasure in our school library.  Pupils are encouraged to choose from a wide range of fiction and non-fiction material suitable to their needs and interests.

​

Two pupils for each English class are nominated as class librarians to oversee the weekly exchange of books.  In addition, library prefects also assist in the day to day running of the school library.
