We are absolutely delighted to share a major update on one of our most exciting projects this year: our brand-new School Library on North Site interior design is officially on track for completion ahead of half term, and possibly even in time for our Open Evening on 12th October! We are thrilled to share with you the final designs for what is going to be the most fabulous, inspiring area in our school. Once officially opened, this incredible space will be available every day: Before School (from 8:00 AM): Open every morning for quiet reading, homework, or simply a safe, calm space to start the day. Break & Lunchtime: Dedicated clubs, reading sessions, and quiet activities. After School (3:15 PM – 4:30 PM): Fully accessible for study, homework support, and reading. This is going to be such a hugely positive development for our entire school community, and we really cannot wait for the grand opening. We will share the full details of the official launch shortly. Please take a look at the final design - we hope you are as excited as we are!
