Library
Welcome to St Peter’s C of E School Library
The Library at St. Peter’s is a large, light-filled, comfortable space in which both students and staff can read for pleasure, study, or carry out research.
We have recently acquired some bean bags, sofas and armchairs to help make a more relaxed atmosphere, making the library a very popular place for students to spend time.
We do not expect silence in the Library, but we do expect you to keep to the school rules and show respect.
Who works in the Library?
The library is staffed by a full-time Librarian, Ms Vicky Nolan. Each break and lunch time we also employ volunteer Student Librarians.
When is the Library open?
The Library is open Mon - Thurs 8.15am - 4pm and 8.15am - 2.40pm on Fridays to students and staff. During lesson time staff can book the Library for their class/group or individual study. During break and lunch students are free to use the Library for studying, reading, or choosing books.
Can I do homework in the Library?
Yes we run a homework club Monday to Thursday from after school to 4pm. A member of staff is here to help you. Note, due to the early finish, there is no homework club on Fridays.
What is in the Library?
The library offers a wide range of resources in the form of fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, newspapers and DVDs and Audio Books. There are also a bank of Chromebooks in the library, all with access to printing facilities, which students can use to carry out research or to help them with home learning tasks.
You can find:
- Children’s and teenage fiction
- Adult fiction Y10 and above.
- Non-fiction books
- Graphic novels and Manga
- National newspapers
- Magazines on a range of subjects
- Reference materials including encyclopedias and dictionaries
- A range of resources for dyslexic, struggling or reluctant readers
Students and staff are able to view the AccessIt from school and from home.
This means that you can view your library account, look at the books you have taken out, and see when they are due back. You can also see if your books are overdue.
