Library
Research consistently points to the fact that students who read for pleasure get better outcomes at school. Our library helps to create a culture where reading for pleasure is encouraged and celebrated more widely.
As well as providing a wide range of the most up-to-date literature, along with lots of classics, our wonderful library is keen to offer enrichment opportunities for students to develop their reading skills and enjoyment. Each week, the library hosts a wide range of reading interventions during which students develop their ability to decode at a word-based level, understand at a whole text level and, also, have opportunities to enjoy quietly reading to themselves or aloud to a teacher. Additionally, our school uses the library as a base from which to run a range of competitions and activities to coincide with national events for example World Book Day and national writing competitions.
