Library
"The main school library is spacious, attractive, extremely well organised, suitably resourced, neatly presented and effectively used. It provides an excellent centre for research and learning." ISI Report 2003

Reading for pleasure is positively encouraged

The library plays an important role in the school’s active encouragement of the joy and value of reading by ensuring that it’s a welcoming venue, well stocked and "in tune" with pupils' reading preferences. Reading for pleasure is further nurtured by regular visits from authors, poets and storytellers who bring books and stories to life and enlighten your child in the art of writing.

The computerised library system means that your children can self issue books, thereby making the library available to all pupils 24/7 – something which is of particular value to boarders. Farleigh employs a permanent librarian who is on hand to advise pupils and staff on reading choices.

English classes are regularly timetabled in the library and your child therefore feels comfortable and at ease working in the library and making use of the extensive resources.

The library houses excellent non-fiction and reference sections which support the school curriculum. Research work for class projects is organised to take place in the library. Moreover, there are a number of computers which are school networked and internet linked.

The quiet reading corner contains a wide range of magazines, comics and daily newspapers. Year 3 pupils are gently introduced to the library through their weekly visits to listen to a story CD in quiet time.

Pupils and staff are actively encouraged to make wide use of the library as a learning resource but also as a peaceful haven for thought, contemplation, relaxation and even escape.
