  • fulfil our role as the primary gatekeeper to the information landscape by providing centralised, effective access to reputable information sources within and beyond the school
  • encourage our users’ confidence, independence, co-operation and enjoyment in using the resources most relevant to them
  • project ourselves as a welcoming environment in which students and staff may undertake successful resource-based learning and teaching
  • provide opportunities for students and staff to develop information skills using a wide range of resources, including information technologies
  • encourage all students to take responsibility for their library by providing training programmes and incentives for student librarians and helpers.
