Christmas 2022

 

🎄Some Christmas reads for your delight 🎄

Textiles Club

 Our fantastic Textiles Club members have come up trumps again!  They have put together another lovely display, in the Discovery Library, of the tabards they created and the books that inspired them.  This time the theme is fairies and nymphs!!

Anti-Bullying Week 2022

 Monday 14 - Friday 18 November 2022 is Anti-Bullying Week.  

The theme this year is Reach Out, and the aim is to inspire people to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.  We hope our pop-up display in the Discovery Library is a good example of Reaching out!

World Cup 2022, LGBT and Rebels

We have some great book displays in our Libraries.  In the Discovery Library we are celebrating the 2022 World Cup and also supporting the LBGT community.  

In the War Memorial Library, we are thinking about all things rebellious.

So pleased to hear this wonderful, magical book Skin of the Sea by the Nigerian/Welsh writer Natasha Bowen has won the best YA Book category of the Diverse Book Awards 2022. Our students and staff can find this brilliant book in our Upper School Library.
