A Magical First Day Back: Our New Library Unveiled

The first day of school was filled with excitement, but one moment stood out above all others—the grand unveiling of our brand new library.

What was once an unused bedroom has been completely transformed into a bright, inspiring space where our children can read, learn, and let their imaginations soar. With shelves brimming with books, cosy corners to curl up in, and a fresh, modern design, the library is already becoming the heart of our school.

The reactions from our pupils—especially our Year 6’s—said it all. As they stepped into the space for the first time, their faces lit up with awe and joy, a reminder of just how powerful an inviting reading environment can be.

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our staff, who worked tirelessly over the summer to make this dream a reality. A special thank you also goes to the wonderfully talented Lottie who designed the whole thing, her vision and creativity brought the library to life in such a beautiful way.

We look forward to seeing the adventures our students will embark on between the pages of these books, and to the countless memories that will be made in this very special space.
