Library
“ At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better.”
Barack Obama
The Library Resource Centre is a fundamental part of the Academy’s literacy strategy and aims to develop a lifelong love of reading in every student.
It is situated behind the main school building next to the Science block in its own purpose built architect award winning building. It is generally open to students from 08.00 through to 16.00 every day for independent study but this is subject to change when events are taking place. The Library Resource Centre has over 16,000 printed resources available including around 6,000 Children’s/Teen fiction books, 2,000 adult fiction books and nearly 10,000 non-fiction/reference books as well as magazines & journals. It has computers available for homework and research and dedicated staff who are always on hand to offer help and advice. Students may borrow up to three books for a period of two weeks; books can be renewed by visiting the library on or before the due date.
