Student Librarians
Students in KS3 partake in a dedicated Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) time for fifteen minutes per week as a part of their Literacy lesson in KS3. These dedicated DEAR sessions and the programme of clubs give students time and space to read for pleasure from a wide choice of reading materials.
The comprehensive Library collection supports the curriculum and provides both classic and current high-quality fiction to encourage a joy in reading for its own sake.
The Library collection consists of a wide selection of fiction books; non-fiction books; comics and graphic novels; textbooks and resources for Manor College students and careers information resources.
- The fiction books are organised in alphabetical order by surname within genres, with a section of short stories organised by reading level to support developing readers. Comics, graphic novels and Manga are organised in alphabetical order.
- Non-fiction books are organised by topic, with a dedicated section for poetry and playscripts including Shakespeare.
- Manor College resources are organised by subject for textbooks and non-fiction, and author for fiction.
