Library

The school library offers a variety of resources and activities. Our print collection consists of over 18,000 titles,
including modern fiction, classic novels, subject materials, and a careers library. We subscribe to a wide range of specialist journals and magazines, including GCSE and A Level Reviews, the New Scientist, BBC Music, History Today,
and daily newspapers paid for by the CGS PA. Our digital subscriptions include JSTOR, which is a digital library of articles, books, and primary sources, and a growing collection of ebooks and specialist material to support all areas of learning. You will find all the details through the library’s online catalogue, which is also available as an app.

The library has a flexible environment that supports silent study, quiet and comfortable reading, and class activities and lunchtime events. We provide support and guidance on research and referencing skills for sixth form and EPQ students, and digital and information literacy skills for junior students. The library hosts several clubs including a student librarian group and a Carnegie Medal shadowing club. We run regular competitions and events including the Harry Potter Book Night, World Book Day, book fairs and literary quizzes. Our SharePoint page provides full details of all library news, subscriptions, activities, reading recommendations and topic resources.
