‘’The Smithies Library is a really good place to study without getting distracted. The Librarian always helps when you ask, and there are lots of resources for the subjects you’re interested in.’’

Developing
Independence
Ensuring students make a confident start to their A Level studies is a priority for us. We help students develop their Study Skills as part of our Guidance Programme, as well as through lessons for Year 12 during the first term.
One of the biggest challenges of A Level study is working independently outside of lessons. It is therefore important that students have access to high-quality private study spaces throughout the day. CRGS Sixth Form is fortunate to be able to offer a choice of study environments to suit both silent and co-operative study. The well-stocked Library, with current journals, books, revision guides and e-resources, is a sanctuary for those seeking a quiet, purposeful place for individual work. Laptops and iPads can be borrowed, although students are very welcome to bring their own devices and make use of the free Wi-Fi. In addition, the bright and airy Quad is available for quiet, collaborative study and is equipped with PCs for student use at any time.
Our full-time Librarian is available to provide one-to-one support for students who are struggling to adapt to the organisational demands of A Level. The Librarian also runs a Revision Club at lunchtimes and offers seminars for students on a range of study skills.
‘’Every single member of sta makes time for any student that needs support. The friendliest people I’ve ever met!’’
