Good luck to all pupils and students who are taking their exams. See your teacher if you need any support.
Our school library is a welcoming environment and is an integral part of the school community. Run by our Librarian Ms Rani, it is always a busy, safe space for all pupils.
The library holds a diverse collection of books from the classics to contemporary fiction to graphic novels by a range of different authors. We have a wide range of non-fiction books and try and reach every subject area.
Reading for pleasure is strongly encouraged and it is a delight to see students faces light up when they find the perfect book to read! Students are free to use the library during break times and lunch times where there is never a dull moment!
All year groups are allowed to meet in the library to eat lunch and be with friends, play board games, read or complete their homework.
Such a lovely, friendly atmosphere all year round!
Students have flexible access to the library between lessons as well as structured class time, and can borrow and return library books throughout the day.
The library is open after school. Students are welcome to stay until 4pm and join in with activities.
It is important we all look after our library and return all resources on time.
Do you have your very own shelf space where you keep your favourite things like books, games, books, teddies, books, toys, books, jewellery and books?
Then why not enter our Shelfies competition by taking a photograph of your shelf at home and emailing it to Ms Rani at:
ranip@ilsley.bham.sch.uk
Photographs of the best shelfies will be up on display in the library and the best three shelfies will win a prize on World Book Day on march 6th 2025.
HINT: You could further decorate your shelf with fairy lights, flowers, artwork, plants or your craft projects. The possibilities are endless!
Remember to be original and most importantly have fun!
To further inspire a love of reading, students have the exciting opportunity to participate in the Read Around the World Challenge!
In this challenge, pupils can explore novels set in different locations around the globe. As they read, they record each book in a special ‘passport’ provided to them by our Librarian. Once they’ve completed a certain number of books, they can be entered into the competition for a chance to win a prize.
This is a fun and engaging way to help your child maintain and develop their reading skills while exploring diverse cultures and settings through literature.
Happy travels and don’t forget your passport!
