Libraries & Reading
Kingshott has two school library areas — one in the Rowan Building with books for our youngest pupils, and another in the heart of the school for our older pupils. The main library is open daily for pupils in Year 3 and above during the school day, including at lunchtime.
A dedicated Librarian is ably assisted by pupils who take on the role of Librarians. They earn a Librarian badge and can take part in a competition at the end of each term to win a book, provided they have attended regularly in their role.
The library is a multifunctional facility, offering a calm and welcoming environment where pupils can enjoy quiet reading, gentle conversation, or catch up on written homework. It also plays an important role in pastoral care at Kingshott.
World Book Day is celebrated each year, with children dressing up as their favourite literary characters.
The Library stocks a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books, available for pleasure, homework or research. To help children choose appropriate reading material, the fiction area is divided into sections for Years 3–4 and Years 5 and above. The non-fiction area is also organised into subject categories, along with sections for dictionaries and encyclopaedias.
