Nower Hill High School
Study
Why do you have sessions of silent study?
We wanted to help pupils get used to using the library, as they would be expected to in Further and Higher educational institutions. It helps those who want to get on with their work without interruption. For those who just want to enjoy the peace and read quietly, it is a great place to relax. The 2 break-time sessions of silent study have proven most popular.
Can I use the library during lessons?
The library is used throughout the school day. Individuals and small groups can use the library during lessons, but they must have a note giving permission from their teacher. This must be shown to library staff on arrival.
Every pupil is automatically registered to use the library.
Each pupil is allowed to borrow up to 3 books and a DVD at any one time.
Books are issued for 3 weeks and DVDs for 1 week. Please make the effort to return or renew items so that they don’t become overdue. At present we don’t charge fines for late items, except for 6 th form students who will be charged 20p per day for each overdue item.
