Library

The library at Great Marlow School provides a calm and spacious learning environment, which students use at breaktimes and lunchtimes.

Students in Year 7 and 8 have fortnightly library lessons, which are teacher led, to encourage a love of reading through a wide and diverse book selection. The range of reading material includes graphic, Manga and dyslexic books, as well as the classics: our library collection reflects current reading trends. The emphasis is on enjoyment of reading rather than setting targets. Laptops are freely available in both school breaks. Supervised homework club starts at 3 pm – 4-30 pm running from Monday to Thursday. The librarians hold regular book fairs from Scholastic, author visits and library events throughout the year.

From Year 8, students can apply to become assistant librarians, taking part in the everyday life of the library and their help is truly appreciated.

The librarians aim to provide an inclusive and welcoming space in which students can thrive.
