The Early Years Library is a new addition to our school.  We opened in October to provide opportunities for children and parents to share high quality texts.  Research shows sharing stories and books is an essential part of a child’s healthy and successful development.  The National Literacy Trust found that in 2024, fewer parents reported engaging daily reading activities compared with 2019.

The library was an instant success and we actually have queues of parents and children waiting to enter at 3 o’clock.  Some children have visited every day and many children who were once reluctant to read now attend with requests for books they want to take.

In the next academic year we hope to build on the popularity of our EYFS library by hosting regular storytimes where parents can come and read, used book sales and extending to year 1 as our current children transition to their new classes.

Library opening times Monday Friday 3.00-3.15
