As part of our commitment to students leading the new books we have in our library, 11 students accompanied our school library to Waterstones bookshop in Lichfield to choose new fiction titles for our school library. There were students from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 involved in the trip.

After spending about an hour browsing the books and getting expert advice from the Waterstones staff, the students chose 34 books. Some of the titles chosen were ‘Thieves’ Gambit’ by Kayvion Lewis, ‘The Elsewhere Emporium’ by Ross Mackenzie, ‘Rooftoppers’ by Katherine Rundell.

Helena Cresswell, School Librarian, said: “The students enjoyed the expedition and are looking forward to taking out some of the books over the summer holidays.
