Our Library
Our library is at the heart of our school. Designed by Peters Library Design Services, it is a welcoming, inviting space for reading, class visits, intervention groups, Book Clubs, Lunch Clubs and storytelling. Centrally located, it is easily accessed and is utilised by both staff and pupils. The school aims to promote a life-long love of reading for both pleasure and education by providing a large selection of up-to-date, fiction, non-fiction, phonics, graphic novels and dual language picture books.
Mrs Smith is our full-times librarian who is supported by sixteen pupil librarians that assist in the general up-keep of the library as well as checking out and returning library books. They learn valuable life skills such as respecting books, working as a team, helping others, alphabetising and how to keep the library tidy.
Every year, our librarians are rewarded with a trip out of school. These have included shopping for new books at a local supplier’s warehouse and meeting Lenny Henry at his latest book launch.
Year One children are allowed to borrow one book, whilst Years Two through Year Six are allowed to borrow two books. Children in Year One through Year Four should bring a school book bag in in order to borrow books.
Years One through Four visit the library once a week and Years 5 and 6 visit once a fortnight with their class but can also visit the library at lunchtimes three times per week
