    The Blackstone Library

    • Introduction

      The Blackstone Library is situated above the 6th Form block at Wallingford School.

      Our library is open to all students and can be used for homework, research, revising and reading.

      The library provides essential resources to support the curriculum, develop literacy and research skills, and we actively promote reading for pleasure.

      It is very well stocked with over 12,000 fiction, non-fiction and reference books.

      The Reading Cloud is our library computer system, and it provides information on all our books as well as access to over 11,000 educationally approved websites.

      All students and staff have an account on this system. 

      We have eight PCs with internet access all connected to an A4 colour printer. These are available to students to use at break and lunch time.

      The library is open throughout the school day (08.35 -15.05) and is managed by Mrs Saunders (Monday-Thursday) and Ms Hanley (Friday).

      The library has events and activities throughout the year to encourage and promote reading.
