discover the kingshill library - a hub of learning and engagement

 At Kingshill School, we take pride in fostering a love for reading and learning. Our spacious, modern library is a bright and inviting space, equipped with contemporary shelving and comfortable seating. Our extensive collection caters to all ages and abilities, featuring everything from manga and graphic novels to fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction. We also offer dyslexia-friendly and highly readable books, alongside a curated selection of wellbeing resources.

To support independent learning, we provide digital access through Wheelers, enabling students to borrow eBooks and audiobooks both during term time and school holidays. Additionally, our subscriptions to ClickView, Complete Issues, and Issues Online offer valuable research materials to enhance students’ academic experience.

Library Activities and Resources

Our library plays a central role in student life. Reading lessons are an integral part of the curriculum for Years 7 to 9, supported by our dedicated library team. Pupils can borrow books, complete homework, and enjoy the use of our three exclusive study pods and over 20 laptops.

Beyond academics, the library is a vibrant social space where students can engage in book fairs, author visits, and interactive events. It also provides a welcoming environment for students to build friendships over games like Uno and chess.

The library operates from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with an after-school Homework Club running from Tuesday to Thursday to further support students’ learning.

Meet Our Team

Our library is expertly managed by Mrs. Evans, assisted by Mrs. Dyer, who also provides career support. Additionally, our Student Librarian Programme empowers students to take an active role in library operations, helping with book returns, suggesting new titles, and organizing activities. This initiative fosters valuable life skills and lasting friendships.

At Kingshill School, we believe our library is more than just a place for books—it’s a dynamic learning environment that inspires curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence. We welcome you to be part of our thriving school community!
