Lower School Library -

Lower School library

Bridgewater’s school library is situated on the Lower School site and is staffed by a dedicated librarian. The library has over 6,000 books and resources, including a wide range of fiction and non-fiction for leisure reading, school work and general interest.

The library is open before school from 8.00am, break time and lunchtime. Pupils are encouraged to visit the library to borrow books and to complete homework. Computers are available for pupils to use. A Pop-Up Library also takes place at Upper School on a fortnightly basis for our older pupils.

Reading for Pleasure

Cheshire Book Quiz

The Cheshire Book Quiz is an interschool competition set up by Cheshire school librarians to promote a love of reading. Each month, groups of Y7/Y8 pupils read a set book from a total of five specially chosen titles, and then come together to take part in a short quiz on that book and wider fiction. In the summer, the four teams in Cheshire with the highest scores meet for the Final and can meet a children’s author and win book prizes and a trophy for the school.

Cheshire Schools Book Award

The Cheshire Schools’ Book Award is an annual book prize. All books on the shortlist and the winning titles are chosen and voted for by students from secondary schools across Cheshire. All participating schools are invited to a special celebratory event held each June when the winner is announced.
