The Chatfeild-Roberts Library

The Chatfeild-Roberts Library is at the heart of College life, supporting pupils both academically and pastorally. The Library is a space for pupils to be inspired, to immerse themselves in literature, study and to socialise with their peers. The library is a space for all, with boundless opportunities.

More than books

• Book clubs – running after school on a Monday, aimed at inspiring our pupils to read and discuss a wide range of popular modern literature.
• Author visits – allowing our pupils to hear and meet some of the latest inspiring authors who are writing for children and young adults.
• Third Form Challenge – providing a time each Wednesday after school for groups to participate in a twilight reading session.
• Academic support – the library is a wonderful learning environment with over 20,000 paper resources and many more online.
• Developing information literacy skills – experienced librarians teaching research skills to our pupils, helping them to gain the skills they will need throughout school and beyond.
• Individual reading – a warm, welcoming, comfortable space for our school community to curl up with a great book.
• Pastoral guidance – the library is a calm safe space for all and we are here to listen, engage and support our pupils.
• Independent study – during lesson time and in our prep sessions, the library becomes a quiet space for pupils to be able to work independently in a beautiful setting.
