Academy Library

Take a look at our library catalogue. You can search for books, read reviews, view our returns shelf. You can also see all the books you have on loan and renew any that you are still reading. Do we have your favourite book in the library?

Reading is very important. It's is a proven fact that students who read regularly will do better at secondary school. Try to read as much as you can - you can read fiction, non-fiction, magazines, news articles, computer manuals, bus timetables - anything works as long as you are reading.  Take a look at this reading list of suggested books for Year 7.  Have you read any of these books already?

We have thousands of eBooks and audiobooks available for you to read on your phone, tablet or computer.
All students have access to these online books, but if you want to sign up before you start here, you can register on the site by going to the 'Sign In' page.

Every week we have a Boggle competition in the library - here is one you can have a go now! How many words of 3 or more letters can you make from the letters in the picture of Boggle Bob? 

There is more information about the Library and the services we offer on our main library page. 

Every year we appoint Student Librarians to help at the library desk, issuing and returning books and shelving library books. All you need is a willingness to help - and a love of reading!

In Year 7 and Year 8 we use the Accelerated Reader scheme. Students take a reading test each term and a quiz on books that they read.
