Research skills sessions
The library is open daily from 8am to 4pm and is staffed by a professional librarian, who can assist students with their queries. We use the Heritage Library Management System. Students can borrow up to 6 items at a time and can renew/request their books online.
Research skill sessions are offered to all students in the Sixth Form, to help them acquire Information Literacy skills. The students work in teams to complete various activities, showing them how to locate relevant material, analyse and evaluate resources, reference material and create bibliographies for their coursework.
