The Library
Our library is a warm and inviting space at the heart of Finham Park. It’s always buzzing with activity—whether students are reading, researching, studying, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. The library is open throughout the day, as well as before and after school, so there’s always time to drop in.
We aim to:
- Support students and staff with up-to-date, easy-to-find resources
- Provide a calm and positive place to learn and work
- Encourage a love of reading and inspire curiosity about the world
We also have our own Library website where you can explore everything we offer. Just click the link below to find out more!
All students can use the library during their free time. Breaks and lunchtimes will find them browsing and reading books, magazines or newspapers, playing chess, Scrabble and other word games. Before and after school is the ideal time for students to start or complete homework and the library staff are always on hand to help with research.
Sixth form students use the library regularly during their study periods for work and research. There are 15 computers available for them to use in the library. There are 16 single study carrels available in a silent work area as well as numerous work tables in the body of the library.
