Library
Welcome to the Broxbourne School Library page. The Library is a vibrant part of the school where students read, undertake private study, complete homework and take Reading Pro quizzes. The Library is buzzing after school when Top Up Club allows students to get help with their homework.
The sixth form study area which overlooks the Library from the mezzanine level brings a calming, scholarly atmosphere and is an inspiration to younger students. We encourage students to relax with a good book on our bean bags in front of our floor-to-ceiling windows or get down to serious study at the tables. The Library is stocked with a variety of books covering a wide range of genres and subjects which can be borrowed by both students and staff. Up to three fiction and three non-fiction titles can be taken out at any one time.
There are also regular Library lessons to support literacy. A key tool to support literacy is the Reading Pro scheme. Each student in Year 7 and Year 8 is expected to read at least one book every 2 weeks. As Reading Pro monitors each student’s reading, comprehension skills, and the amount of reading they undertake, it is a good aid to measure a student’s progress and can be a great motivator for encouraging reading.
The Library has regular displays which highlight Library topics and reflect our diverse Broxbourne community.
The library is open from 8.00am till 4.00pm Monday to Thursday and 8.00am until 3.00pm on Friday.
We look forward to seeing you in the library!
