Welcome to our Library
The library is the heart of the school with almost 9000 books ranging from fiction, non-fiction, poetry, picture books, comics and more: we have something for all children to enjoy.
Our library provides a welcoming and stimulating literacy environment that strives to create lifelong lovers of reading.
Children from Year 2 and up visit the library fortnightly. Each class appoints two Student Librarians helping to scan out class books. In Year 6, Student Librarians are chosen through an application process and play a vital role in supporting the library.
You can find out more about our school library and see photos from class visits by looking through our school blog.

Year 6 Student Librarian Blog Post
Term 4
Hello!
A lot has happened in the past term, especially with the Reading Festival! We had a visit from author Andy Seed; he was kind enough to sign some of his books for the library. There has also been World Book Day where everyone had a chance to dress-up as their favourite book characters. During this week, many children took part in the ‘Bishop Road Great British Book Hunt’ by finding book characters hidden in the library! Finally, Year 2 have been exploring the library with the help of us Year 6 Student librarians; you can read more about this on the Whole School Blog.
More blog posts coming next term!

Term 3
Hello!
It has been very busy and exciting in the Library this term. We have had some amazing events, such as Ross Welford coming to visit Years 4 and 6. Ross was kind enough to sign our books and even did some magic tricks! We really enjoyed his visit. It was Architecture day this term and the library has been brimming with books about our whole school topic, as well as a beautiful display that us librarians helped make! We also helped with Mrs Hatcher’s favourite ever display – ‘Reading Gives You Wings’ – and cut out all of the butterflies.
Look out for more posts next term from the Year 6 Student Librarians!
Goodbye!

Term 2
Hello!
A lot has happened in the library during this past term. First, there are lots of new picture books (and a brand-new picture bookshelf!). Our favourites are: ‘Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus’ and ‘The True Story of the Three Little Pigs’. Last week, Jackie Morris visited the Year 5’s for an assembly and she was kind enough to sign some of the books we have here in the library – such as her new book ‘The Panda’s Child’. Finally, the library was turned into a Winter Wonderland for the festive season and many of us shared the gift of reading by writing book recommendations for one another.
Keep an eye out for more blog posts by the Year 6 Student Librarians!
