Academic Journey 2024-25

THE LIBRARY

The Library Team supports pupils throughout their time at Teddies, starting with an induction to the Library for the Shells. The Team’s mission is to make the Library somewhere pupils want to be so that later when they have to be there, they feel comfortable and confident – and Sixth Formers often talk about the Roe Reading Room in the Library as one of their favourite places at Teddies. Our Head Librarian, Sarah Eldred, regularly meets classes in Shell, Fourth and Fifth Forms to teach research skills including referencing, most especially in Pathways and Perspectives lessons, where research and reflection is an integral part of the core module. In the Sixth Form, Ms Eldred meets with all pupils when they undertake their Extended Essay (IB) or Extended Project Qualification (A Level) and teaches them how to build upon the skills learnt in the younger years including formally citing, referencing and formatting information to a university standard. In support of Time to Read (ring fenced time when all pupils and Tutors read together), pupils are very much encouraged to visit the Library regularly and request books or seek recommendations in person or from our online guides.
