‘Children’s books are the great floodlit gateway to ideas…..’
(Katherine Rundell)
Our library is at the heart of our school. We take great pride in having a designated, comfortable and very-well stocked library space. Children have regular opportunities to visit the library – and all are able to borrow books. We recognise the importance of reading for pleasure and we aim to foster a life-long love of reading.
