Library

Welcome to the Hillcross Primary School Library web page

We are extremely lucky at Hillcross to have such a wonderful library for all of our students and staff to use.

Our library is Jungle themed and the children love visiting to have a quiet read or to take books out to enjoy at home.

When classes are not visiting the library, it is also used as a learning hub and the children benefit from a calm and engaging environment to learn in.

We have volunteers who help to keep our library running smoothly (please let us know via info@hillcross.merton.sch.uk if you would like to join this team), as well as a group of pupil prefects and three staff members who oversee the day-to-day operations.

             

Each Team from Nursery to Year 6 has the opportunity to visit the library at least once a week.

Reception to Year 6 are able to take out a book each for up to 2 weeks at a time.

Reading for pleasure is fundamental to ensuring our children make the best possible progress in life and learning, and we offer a vast range of books for all ages, including fiction and non-fiction books, newspapers, comics and topic related reference books.

The librarians are on hand most days to answer any queries the children may have and to help with the scanning in and out of books, to allow the class teacher quality time with their Team.
