Library

We believe that a love of reading promotes reading skills and general knowledge. Research shows that children who read widely and are supported in this venture achieve most highly. In order to enable greater access to books, Mrs Blythe will be opening the library each day before school (8.30 – 8.50) and at lunchtime.

Before school, children and parents / carers may enter school via main reception to visit the library.
