library

The Library is open from 8.30am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday and is staffed at all times. Members of Sixth Form are allowed to use the resource during private study time as a quiet space to research, study and revise. Students in Key Stage 3 have regular Library lessons as part of their studies in English.

The library catalogue is accessed via the computer system which will allow you to identify resources and their availability quickly. Staff are always happy to help and a photocopying service is offered for items which cannot be removed from the Library at a cost of 5p per A4 sheet.

Independent Research

Every subject offered in curriculum is supported by a well stocked section in the Library. Each Head of Department is regularly invited to review their subject area and asked to suggest titles to enhance the range offered. This ensures that we can offer relevant, up-to-date resources to support research and additional reading.

The fiction section is a rapidly expanding resource offering a wide variety of genre and author. While most titles are there for reading pleasure students will find that some offer additional support in subjects such as History, Philosophy and, of course, English Literature.

To keep you up-to-date with current affairs the Library offers a selection of daily newspapers and a local paper plus a variety of general interest magazines. The Librarian also sells a full range of student stationery at cost price.
