Resource Centres

There are many well-equipped departmental libraries and resource centres, providing boys with an extensive range of learning materials.

The main library has a working stock of well over 20,000 volumes, an extensive multimedia collection and Internet access. The accommodation provides both a quiet area for individual study and research and a resource centre for academic subjects with access to national databases.

An Archive, with an important collection of historic documents, photographs, records and memorabilia adjoins the main Library, as does one of the School's computer centres which can be used for individual or group work.

There are additional specialised facilities for particular subjects and year groups such as an attractive Lower School Library and the large study area for the Sixth Form.
