Welcome to Kingsmead School Library

The Library is a place for quiet working, reading and research. It is open to everyone, every day, and there is always someone available to help students find the reading book or piece of information they need, whether that is for school work or personal interest.

There are three members of staff:  

Library Manager      Mrs Claire Hill, BA, MCLIP

Library Assistant     Mrs Karen Walsh                

Library Assistant     Mrs Leila Mittins                  

The Library is open every day between 8.00am and 4.30pm, although 6th formers may stay later, supervised by a member of 6th form staff.

Homework Club takes place in the Library after school every afternoon, supervised by teaching assistants and supported by Library staff.

Students can use the Library's computers to search the internet, do their homework or type up their coursework 

"the moment that we persuade a child . . . to cross that threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better.  It's an enormous force for good."

President Barack Obama
