Library

The school library has been refurbished and re-stocked in recent years and the school is committed to ongoing investment in print books and digital technology such as Kindles and other e-book sources and resources. The library has been designed to provide the boys with a quiet and purposeful atmosphere for study and intellectually creative thought. Students are able to use the library throughout the term.

The School Library aims to do the following:

  • Support the educational aims of the school by making the library central and integral to the independent learning processes within the school.
  • Provide a service which will enable students to become more responsible for their own learning and prepare for university by helping them develop their research and study   skills.
  • Enrich students’ curricular experiences by providing appropriate resources. Knowledge of the curriculum enables staff to purchase relevant resources, and provide an environment that is conducive and will encourage divergent and reflective study.
  • Provide an environment which encourages relaxation and private reading. Regularly changing displays and celebration of national book awards, presenting and highlighting new novels, literary works and latest developments, as well as personal recommendations, encourage pupils to read a varied range of material.

Give students a sense of ‘ownership’ of their Library. Suggestions by students for resources are always welcomed.
