The Library

The Library

Our aim is to promote reading for pleasure amongst our students and staff by providing a wide range of contemporary and classic titles. We are open from 8am-4pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In addition, all KS3 English classes have the opportunity for regular lessons in the library for extended reading and browsing in comfort.

All of our books can be browsed via the catalogue which can be found  here: 'Oliver' School Online Library  Do take a look at our news page, as well as the tabs at the top to help keep up to date with all our new arrivals. There are also details of our themed reading lists to provide more suggestions about great new books to read. Students are also encouraged to create their own login to the library’s system, Oliver, in order to rate and review books for others and to create their own ‘shopping baskets’ of titles as they build their reading experience.

We are open from 8am -4pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Students can come and browse our books before school, at break or lunchtime or after school.
