Extended and refurbished in 2019, the KES Library offers students of all ages an unrivalled location within the school to read and study.
With several networked PCs, printing facilities, charging stations, tables for group study and study booths for individual work available, the Library is well-equipped for the needs of KES students. There are even comfortable armchairs and sofas in the fiction section, where students aged 11-14 will spend their reading lessons.
The collection is kept up-to-date, and Library staff will always be happy to help you find what you are looking for!
Fiction, magazines and graphic novels are found downstairs. These books are kept in alphabetical order by author’s surname. Non-fiction, study guides, plays, poetry and newspapers are found upstairs. These books are kept in numerical order by shelfmark—this can be found on the Library Catalogue. Please feel free to ask a member of Library staff to help you find something.
