AT BSAK

(The process may be amended due to COVID rules)

BSAK Primary Library boasts over 30,000 titles by world renowned children’s authors. Spread out over two floors, the library is a treasure trove for curious young minds and contains a host of fiction and non-fiction books on a wide array of topics which support the KS2 curriculum.

The BSAK library also administers and supports the Accelerated Reader Programme. AR is a reading program that helps support and monitor children’s reading practice. Children from Year 2 and upwards take a STAR test to determine their reading level at the beginning of term. They then choose a book at their own level and read it at their own pace. When finished, each student takes a short online quiz to measure how much of the book they understood. STAR tests are administered 4 times a year and are a great way to highlight children’s literacy progress and areas for improvement.

The library is equipped with a large selection of AR registered books to suit all students’ interests. There are also computers available which provide easy access to AR quizzes and our library collection.

Parents, Grandparents and Guardians are all welcome and encouraged to borrow books from our library. We believe that promoting this sense of BSAK community spirit is what helps to foster a love of life-long learning in our young library users.
