At Berwick Academy, we are working hard to create a library for our school. We believe that reading for pleasure is of vital importance to the education of every child. We believe that every child should have access to books that fire the imagination and take them beyond their own experience. And we also believe that every child is entitled to have access to a place for quiet, private study.

It is for these reasons that we have launched the Berwick Academy Library Campaign. Today, we are calling upon the community and anyone who might take an interest in our school to help us in this most enjoyable and important of tasks.

We are extremely proud of our fantastic team of student volunteers who have worked tirelessly to get this campaign off the ground and would like to share this message from The Student Librarians of Berwick Academy:

“We believe that stories can inspire and change people’s lives and that children have the right to read for free. Finding yourself in a book is something that every young person should experience, and we are trying to put reading back at the heart of our school”.

If you would like to help us, and are able to make a donation to our campaign, we would like to thank you for your generosity and support. If you would like to support us in another way, or simply find out more about our school, please visit http://www.berwickacademy.co.uk/ and get in touch.

Thank you for reading about our mission and our school.
