We have had an absolute blast working with @adamkammerling to prepare for and compete in the @HounslowSLS Poetry Slam last week. The standards of writing and performance were amazing and our students were so proud and excited to have participated. #poetryslam
The latest episode of the podcast features three brilliant Y11 students who have been at the heart of our student librarian team since they were in Y7. They reflect on how reading has helped them tackle the challenge of revision. podbean.com/ew/pb-93mka-1606…

We marked the end of the #HounslowTeenRead with a celebratory podcast. Spoiler alert: We loved the books. There's a lovely shoutout to @anthony_mcgowan and Pam Smy who spoke at the launch and closing events as well as the @HounslowSLS podbean.com/ep/pb-38i7b-15e2…
Some of our brilliant Y12 students joined the latest episode of the podcast to enthuse about @ScienceWeekUK and chat about how reading and Science go together. Their passion for Science shines through!

The corridor leading up to the library has a display of incredible artwork created by our former and current students. They are brilliant. It’s a lovely entry for our reading space.
A lot of lively discussions have been sparked by our latest display. Overall, the students have been shocked that books get banned and very relieved that none of them are banned here. #bannedbooks #readingforpleasure #boyslovereading #freetoread
Starting to gather books for a new display in the library. Can you guess what all these books have in common? #readingforpleasure #boyslovereading
Oh, the joy of putting out new books and waiting to see which ones the students pick up. What wonderful adventures they will embark on! #readingforpleasure #boyslovereading #newyearnewbooks #SchoolLibrary
I know you shouldn’t have favourites 😬 but this episode is definitely one of mine. Three of our superb Y12s share their reading experiences and reflect on the role reading played in their recent GCSE success.

There’s a lovely nod to @AndyLaneAuthor and @SJMaas for being the authors to really give the boys their love of reading.
It’s starting to feel festive in the library. What are your favourite Christmas reads? #readingforpleasure #boyslovereading
This is a favourite in our library. We love recommending it to our boys who drawn to stories set in WW2. ‘There’s a gorilla, you’ll love it.’

The boys enjoyed Anthony’s talk very much and are excited to get reading. #readingforpleasure #HounslowTeenRead
One of our dedicated student librarians has created this display as we lead up to Remembrance Day. Thank you to the brilliant writers who tell the stories and realities of the World Wars @philearle @tompalmerauthor @KerryDrewery @theresabreslin1 @johnboyne
A small selection of the many books being returned after the half term break. We are really lucky to have a brilliant student librarian team who will make sure the shelves are restocked and the books can keep being borrowed. #AutumnTerm #readingforpleasure
As we head into half term, the next episode of our podcast is out. If you like listening to boys talk about books they love then this is for you.

Ms Squires went on a fascinating Big Ben tour with author @samuelsedgman and 10 other librarians to find out about the inspiration for his upcoming series The Clockwork Conspiracy. Can't wait for the series to come out early next year! @KidsBloomsbury #TheClockworkConspiracy
