Pupil Librarians

Pupils volunteer in the library before registration, break, lunchtime, after school or on free periods. You will be required to make a regular commitment to the training and work. The training allows you to earn certificates for each level (Bronze, Sliver, Gold, Platinum). Duties include creating library displays, shelving books, organising author visits and developing resources.

We have a Pupil Librarian of the Month Award and a Pupil Librarian of the Year Award. These awards recognise the commitment and creativity of pupils. The Pupil Librarian of the Year will be entered into a UK-wide Pupil Librarian of the Year Award. Mr France will write a report on the pupil which is sent to the School Library Association for their consideration.

Training to become a pupil librarian is extremely valuable. The skills learned are those which are valued in any walk of life – organisation, presentation, communication, team-work and customer service, to say nothing of a greatly increased level of self-esteem, confidence and an improvement in learning.
