Library back in full-swing

4 February 2019

I was shocked to see that I haven’t posted anything since the Library reopened in November. Truth is it’s taken more time than I anticipated to complete all the work ‘behind the scenes’ caused by the withdrawal of old books (which were donated to charity) and the review of the remaining stock. However it’s all been so rewarding and the feedback has been really positive. We now have a wonderful, calming space where the girls can take time out to relax with a good book. It’s also a great space for homework, independent study and revision – that was proven during the Year 11 mock examinations… the space was packed to the full.

Having shut for so long it was lovely to welcome the girls back. I hadn’t realised how much I’d missed them!
