Using the Study Centre

All students in year 7 and 8 have regular reading lessons in the Study Centre with their English teachers. All students are welcome to come in and use our facilities and resources at break and lunchtime, as long as they are using them for school-related purposes.

A team of student helpers work with us as library assistants – let us know if you’d like to help!
