Welcome

The Library underwent a complete refurbishment during the summer of 2014 and was extended to provide a bright, modern and spacious environment for students and staff.

The Library is home to over 12, 000 books, magazines and media items and aims to provide up to date and relevant resources to support teaching and learning across the curriculum as well as support the varied interests of students. We specialise in promoting an exciting and wide range of the latest fiction and non-fiction to encourage reading for pleasure. We also offer a selection of films including the latest releases, book adaptations and films in foreign languages.

The newly expanded computer suite has 31 networked computers which students may use for independent research and homework during breaks and after school.

The Library is managed by Mrs A. Poole assisted by Mrs L. Kirkland. We operate a volunteer programme and are pleased to receive applications from students to enrol as library assistants to help during lunchtimes.

We are open to students from registration until an hour after school closes. Students are encouraged to visit the Library during break and lunchtime when they are always welcome to read, make use of the computers or play board games from our entertainments area.

Our opening hours are:

  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday: 8.50 – 4.30pm
  • Tuesday: TBC

(Parents should be aware however that on occasion the Library may need to close after school without notice).

The Fallibroome BIG READ

Are you looking for a really good read? We think these eight books are outstanding and hope that you will agree! Many staff and students have accepted the Big Read challenge during the last two years and have shared their opinions with one another. There’s no requirement to love the book you choose – in fact, we think there may be a marmite book in there! Please join the conversation by reading one of these recommended titles (PDF).
