The Library

The Library is managed by Mrs Blackburn with the invaluable help of a team of trained, dedicated and enthusiastic pupil librarians. We aim to provide a safe, friendly and welcoming environment in which pupils are given the space and materials to read, study, research and learn. 

When pupils enrol at Redhill they automatically become members of the Library which offers them the following facilities: 

• A large selection of fiction books available for all secondary school ages and reading abilities and in a variety of formats which include graphic novels and quick reads 

• A selection of non-fiction books which support the curriculum 

• Fiction and non-fiction reads to develop pupil’s cultural capital in curriculum subjects 

• Printing facilities

The Library is popular and well used throughout the school day. This is a lovely facility where pupils can work in a quiet and calm environment and is open for them to work independently during social times and before and after school. 

We are a school that loves to read. We passionately strive to promote, engage and enthuse students to enjoy books and to nurture in them, a lifelong love for reading. 

Running throughout the year we provide activities, opportunities, events and celebrations to enjoy, including: author visits, literature trips, Dudley Children’s Books Awards, inter-school book quizzes, competitions, National Reading Day and World Book Day celebrations, book fairs, book and film nights, book reviewing, extra curricular books clubs, Student Book Club.
