Welcome to our school library, where reading is always a pleasure!
Farmor’s Library is welcoming and inclusive - a safe space situated in the heart of our school that aims to instil a lifelong love of reading in all of our students.
Our library is home to a diverse collection of books, graphic novels, magazines, manga and audio book players. Students can explore our RAYS (Read around your Subject) sections or visit the subject satellite libraries in classrooms for more in-depth and subject specific books.
We are open before school from 8.30am and every break and lunch time. Our library is a lively and dynamic space with students reading for pleasure, drawing, knitting, revising or playing tabletop games such as Pokémon, Dungeons & Dragons or chess. Students also enjoy weekly library clubs such as Silent Bookclub and Waggy Wednesdays - a session where our school therapy dog is based in the library for 'drop in' cuddles. Students can also take part in our termly book clubs run by our sixth form reading ambassadors.
Students benefit from school wide library events such as our annual Readathon supporting the charity ReadforGood, and visiting authors event for whole year groups. We also celebrate curriculum linked library events, such as:
