At Queensbridge our vision is to have a school where pupils are empowered with the master skill: Reading
We read for learning and we read for pleasure, widely and often. Through all aspects of school life, we strive to ensure that every student has a reading-rich experience throughout Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. This gives our learners the best start in terms of both academic success and personal wellbeing.
Our library is literally and metaphorically at the heart of our school, where it is a well maintained and popular hub of creativity and learning. Mrs Chilton, our Reading Engagement Mentor and School Librarian, is on hand at all times for advice and support with matching pupils to their next favourite read.
Check out our news stories below to get a flavour of some of the wonderful reading and book related events that are happening in the library, in lessons, and beyond at QB.

3 hours, 75 questions and a whole load of reading fun in the library!
Each half-term, our students enjoy a vibrant Library Bulletin showcasing everything happening in and around our school library, the heart of our school.
This dynamic update highlights the wide range of exciting opportunities available to all students—from clubs and challenges to special events and new reads.
Our bulletin strengthens our sense of belonging and perfectly reflects our school values and makes sure EVERY student knows they have somewhere they can go to try something new, stretch themselves, showcase a talent, meet friends and make discoveries by reading new and exciting new titles.
