Our School Library

We are very pleased to announce that the transformation our new school library is complete and was officially opened by Ian McMillan on 14th November! Official Library Opening (with Ian McMillan) and Poetry Week: November 2024.

Our official library opening in the Barnsley Chronicle: 22.11.24

The library has been specifically designed to encourage and celebrate reading for pleasure in order to foster a reading culture that enriches students’ academic and personal growth and, most importantly, where children develop a lifetime love of reading.  We really could not have created this amazing space without the help of our wonderful librarians who have given up so much of their spare time to organise the space.  They also questioned our children about what books they would like purchasing for the new library.

We currently have lots of books, both fiction and non-fiction, for students to borrow with even more on the way (non-fiction is our next priority)! We have made sure that our pupils are exposed to a wide variety of high-quality texts which are diverse and mirror their lives in a relatable way.

Our inviting library space, which is the prime hub of our school, offers a safe and quiet space for students to read, study, browse and borrow books. The library has various reading nooks, new shelves and carefully designed areas where children are able to choose a book and absorb themselves into its magic. All of our children have a regular weekly library slot and they are able to access the library during first break. Most recently, a local business called OSI Office & Educational Furniture, gifted us our wonderful modula sofa which is incredibly comfortable! Once you enter our library, you never want to leave.

We have author visits to use our amazing library - Elizabeth Green visited most recently.
