We are very proud of the Library at Outwood Academy Newbold. It provides an excellent resource for students and staff with over 12000 books as well as magazines, newspapers and computers.

You will also make weekly visits to the Library in your English lessons. This means you have extra time to change your book, take a quiz and read in a calm environment.

Every student in school is a member of the Library and we encourage everyone to regularly borrow books, recognising the strong links between reading and attainment. We run reading groups, work with local primary schools, shadow book awards and organise reading themed events.

The library is open every day, with qualified staff on hand to offer guidance. Students are welcome to use the Library at breaks, lunchtimes and before school from 8am.

We also offer a full programme of Enrichment after school
