We have a wide variety of books and resources for the children to borrow which include age appropriate Fiction and Non Fiction books.  New and up to date books are regularly borrowed from the School Library Service, some are bought by the Librarian and some books are kindly donated.

What Do I Choose?

This is a guide to help you choose the appropriate book for your Reading Level.

Picture Books – can be found in the kinder boxes suitable for Infant children.

1 Stripe – Stories with very basic text and lots of pictures for children who are beginning to read.

2 Stripe – Stories with simple texts and lots of pictures.

QR – Stories with short chapters and some pictures for children who are gaining confidence in reading.  These books are chosen by the Library Manager from the Children’s Fiction section as suitable reading material especially for Years 2 & 3.

Easier non-fiction information books are labelled with either an Owl on the spine or a Yellow Smiley Star.  These non-fiction books have been classified by the school as suitable for our younger children.

3 Stripe – Picture and puzzle books for older readers. Year 3 up

9+ are suitable for any child who are aged 9 or above

Yr 6 only – age 11 up & T books suitable for children in Year 6 only.  These books will at times contain teenage content.

All classes have elected Librarians who are responsible for selecting books and returning them from the class book corners.  They do this every half term to ensure the class book corner is up to date with the relevant topic they are learning in class that half term.

We have a number of Pupil Librarians whose role is very important in the day to day running of the library.  They are responsible alongside the Library Manager for the general upkeep of the Library and are always there to give any children advice or help on using it.  The Pupil Librarians are responsible for running an Infant Library Lunch club.
