Visiting the school library

We believe that reading is at the heart of our curriculum which is why you will find our library at the heart of our school.

Each class has a weekly slot in the library where they will go with their class to share books and to choose a book to enjoy during independent reading sessions and at home. We have a range of fiction and non-fiction books to choose from and also subscribe to Devon Library service who refreshes our book selection half termly. We also subscribe to ‘The Week’ which is a current affairs news magazine designed especially for children. Copies of these are also available to borrow.

Mrs Pope is our librarian and is ably assisted by our Year 5 library monitors.

As Cranbrook does not have it’s own library we are developing family library sessions where parents can bring their children to choose books to read at home and we also have a selection of adult books to borrow too.
