Library
The Bower Grove library is a central hub for the school, used by both junior and senior pupils. It has an array of fiction and non-fiction texts for pupils to enjoy across a range of abilities, from reception to young adult. As a community, we value reading as imperative to a child's development and embed opportunities to read across all facets of the school.
E-CATALOGUE
Pupils all have individual log-in details so that they may use the school's interactive e-catalogue to browse and book out their selected title. This link will take you to our catalogue: https://bower-grove.oliverasp.co.uk/library/junior.do
