Our Library in school
The library is an important part of our school, all children are encouraged to borrow books. We have a beautiful library to;
- Increase children’s enjoyment of books.
- Increase the range of books children have access to.
- Encourage children to try new authors and subjects.
- Encourage children to research new areas of learning.
- Learn together as a family.
- Enjoy a moment of reading, quiet and relaxation!
Using the library
- All pupils are members of the school library.
- The library is open to children 8.45-3.00 every day. Each class has a dedicated session for library use, including over lunchtimes.
- Each class has two reading ambassadors who help with promoting the library. Year 5 and Year 6 pupils are our librarians and help to keep the space well-stocked, tidy and support our younger pupils with choosing books.
- Key stage one children visit the library as part of their English/reading lessons each week. Key stage two pupils have a specified slot during a guided reading session and over lunchtimes (see timetables in classes).
