The Library

At Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, the Library plays a crucial role in promoting reading, not only for pleasure but also for the development of essential skills for successful, independent learning. As the Librarian, Mr. Hickman, is here to support students in making the most of the Library's resources, whether for academic or personal enrichment.

The Library holds an extensive collection of fiction books, catering to all reading levels and interests, as well as a broad selection of non-fiction titles to support the curriculum and encourage further study. Additionally, the Careers Information section is available for students to explore post-school opportunities, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future.

The Library is open at lunchtimes and breaktimes, as well as after-school, for students to choose and exchange books, read quietly, study, or complete homework. Mr. Hickman is available to assist with book recommendations, research guidance, or any other library-related queries during this time.

For those who need additional study support, the Library runs a Homework Club every day after school from 3pm to 4pm, except on Fridays. Students are welcome to attend and complete their set homework in a quiet, focused environment with resources on hand. Additionally, a Creative Writing Club is held on Tuesdays after school, where students can explore and develop their writing skills in a supportive and inspiring atmosphere.

Furthermore, as part of Oasis Academy Lord's Hill’s innovative Horizons programme, students have access to a vast online library, available both at home and in school through their iPads. With the 'AccessIt' app, which is preloaded on every student's iPad, they can explore thousands of books, eBooks, and audiobooks at their convenience, ensuring there is something for every reader.
