About Us

The Library, which is situated in the Jill Dando centre, is busy, well used and active. The environment is light and airy and the atmosphere is welcoming.

The Library has a dedicated and experienced Librarian and is open between 8am and 4.00pm including break and some lunch times. It is available to all students to encourage reading for pleasure and to support independent learning.

We have over 9,000 books and magazines. There is also a reference and staff collection. 

We work closely with the English Department to support Year 7 and 8 literacy lessons. As well as timetabled lessons, students visit individually or in small groups from lessons as necessary.

Regular events take place throughout the year, such as Book Swops, Carnegie shadowing groups, World Book Day, National Poetry Day and our Celebration of Reading at the end of the year.
