Library

The school library is open at break & lunch time and hosts after school homework club for all students.

It has a wide range of books and resources available, as well as opportunities to get involved in lunchtime clubs, as student librarians or in book groups.

Accelerated Reader (Year 7 & 8)

Students in years 7 & 8, have a daily 20mins of reading so should always have a book in their bag. They can visit the library at any time to borrow a book. They also take part in fortnightly library lessons and are encouraged to participate in our accelerated reader programme. For every book they finish they can take a quiz to determine accuracy and understanding; every word counts towards becoming a word millionaire and winning the form trophy!

Youth Collection Ambassadors

Some of our able readers have become involved with a scheme run by the Oxford Story Museum have now become ambassadors for the story museum 

As a Youth Collections Ambassador they have the opportunity to:

  • help to shape The Story Museum’s 1001 Stories collection
  • send reviews, recommendations and suggestions of stories to be included in our 1001 Stories collection. (Reviews will be published in regular newsletters and will form part of the information held by the Museum on the stories.)
  • be part of the collections development process and feed into decisions about objects to acquire
  • help to develop collections information available in the galleries – writing captions, interpretation boards and information booklets

This is a great opportunity for keen readers to be further involved with the library.

 

 

Archive

Wood Green School has an archive of physical copies of the school's history, slowly with help from volunteers we are digitising this information and making it available for people to view.

Our first step is going through the year books, scanning them and making them available online.
