The library is situated in a central location, accessible to all students. It is light, modern and spacious, with designated areas for study and reading. The library offers a supportive and relaxed environment whilst upholding the school values and the North Walsham Way. 

Not only is the library a safe space for our students to seek refuge with a book, but it is also open for studying, board games and mindfulness colouring.

We also have a well attended book club, held every Wednesday lunchtime, where students are free to discuss a variety of reading material, as well as taking part in competitions, book awards and visits to author workshops.

An enthusiastic team of student librarians support the day to day running of the library. They are always willing to support their peers with book recommendations and helping them to locate specific books.

Monday to Friday 8am – 4:10pm 

Students are welcome to visit the library during the school day; before school, during break and lunchtime and at the end of the day for Home Learning Club.

Students can borrow up to 2 books for 3 weeks.  Students are encouraged to renew their books should they need more time to read them. This can be done up to 2 times.

Students are responsible for the books they borrow, and we ask them to return the books to the library on time, and in good condition. Students are expected to have a reading book with them as part of their school equipment. The library has a plethora of different genres to ensure you always have a book you can enjoy.

Reading for pleasure is a key focus in the library. We have around 6,000 books that include brand new fiction, graphic novels, classic fiction and non-fiction to name but a few. We aim to provide texts that are accessible to a wide range of reading abilities. Students are encouraged to choose a variety of books . 

The librarian constantly updates and maintains the collection to ensure it remains relevant to the curriculum, and the interests of our students. We encourage students to request new titles, genres or areas of interest. 

The library promotes reading for pleasure with regular displays, student competitions and activities.

The library offers a Home Learning Club after school every day until 4:10pm. Home Learning Club is the perfect place for students who: find it difficult to focus at home, have no internet access at home, need additional help from staff or want to work alongside friends. Students have access to laptops, as well as the wide range of non-fiction books. Support with homework is also available from staff.
