Our library has over 13,000 resources. Equipped with over 30 computers, several newspapers, magazines and of course thousands of books. It is host to author events, competitions, promotions, discussion groups as well as friendly and helpful advice.
It is also where you will likely find, Mrs. Waghorn our Librarian.
The purpose of our library is to not only create a lifelong passion for reading but also to help our pupils become independent learners able to find, interpret and transform information themselves, a skillset they will use throughout their lives.

Books come in all shapes and sizes and not all books are good or new for that matter. So if you aren’t sure about what to read next, why not take a look at our top picks which we have carefully chosen with you in mind. We’ve selected our top picks for the week, term and year.
“It’s 1941 and Joseph has found himself in London during the Blitz, under the care of Mrs F, who seems to only care about her rundown zoo. Joseph takes an instant dislike to Adonis, the huge silverback gorilla, but gradually an unlikely bond begins to form between the two of them, especially helping him deal with bullies at his new school.”
The perfect mix of horror, sci-fi, adventure and humour; a highly entertaining read!
“Who is the mysterious bloodstained man who stops their coach?
Why is no one around when Lance and the rest of Year Six arrive at the brand new Crater Lake activity centre?
But this is just the beginning of the school trip from hell; a fight for survival that sees five pupils band together to save their classmates from an alien fate far worse than death.
But whatever happens, they must Never. Ever. Fall asleep!”
The perfect mix of horror, sci-fi, adventure and humour; a highly entertaining read!
