200 books in an alcove under a stairwell do not a Library make.
School librarians equip children with the literacy skills to learn, relax & find information we need for fulfilled lives & to be informed citizens.
Every child deserves a Great School Library.

Just finished this incredible book. I knew a little bit about Josephine Baker but Dance of Resistance does an incredible job of packing in the life story of a woman we can only wonder at. Catherine Johnson does it again! @barringtonstoke.bsky.social @catwrote.bsky.social

Inspired by Kathleen Jamie and her collective poetry where she outsources lines to make new works. Pupils and staff have been asked for their favourite first lines of books - we will be using these on #NationalPoetryday- inspired by this year's theme of PLAY!

Great fun lesson with S2 today talking about judging books by their covers and what works and what doesn't. We were wondering about this one.
(maybe turn round?) What is your favourite/ least favourite cover and why?
