Visiting the Library at Lunchtime

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to visit the Library, each day is designated to a different group. Please note that returning and borrowing are available every day at first and/or second break. Alternative arrangements to suit the needs of our students are always available through communication with myself and their teacher.

not because they tell us that dragons exist,

but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten!
