Darrick Wood School is committed to providing unique learning opportunities for our students, and we recognise the importance of the school library as a hub for learning.
The Reading Realm
The Reading Realm is our popular school library for quiet reading, doing homework, revising for exams, and making friends. Open from 8am to 4pm, students enjoy visiting the Reading Realm throughout the day. Our librarian Miss Jacobs is always there and happy to help.
Books
With a huge collection of fiction and non-fiction books to choose from, every student will find something for them. Most books can be borrowed for up to 2 weeks at a time and renewed if needed longer.
Sora
We have a large collection of e-books and audiobooks on Sora www.soraapp.com which students can access anywhere, anytime with no worry about misplacing a book or late returns. Students can easily access Sora using their school email and password.
