New Secondary Library is Now Open

Our old library was bursting at the seams so we've created a new library in a large, newly-refurbished room, to cope with growing demand from students.

"The new library has a huge range of fiction and non-fiction books, with fiction organised by genre (such as crime, adventure, classics, fantasy) and non-fiction categorised by the dewey decimal system," says Ms Kattenhorn.

Library 1

"We also have the HGA literary canon. This is a selection of books that are recommended for students to read before they leave school."

We will soon be introducing a new Equality and Diversity section to the library, featuring BAME authors and topics relating to LGBTQ, Gender and Disability.

There is also a selection of subject-specific study guides for the students to use, and the new library will also have around 30 new computers students can use to do their homework or research.

"At the moment, the library will only be open during the three break times and three lunchtimes for separate year groups (see timetable below)," says Ms Kattenhorn. "After Covid-19, we propose to open before and after school too."

We look forward to welcoming students to the library and hope they like the look and the extra space we now have.
