At Broadstone Middle School, we’re passionate about fostering a love of reading.
We encourage our students to read as often as they can – whether during lessons, free time, or at home. Our library is open at lunchtimes to all students, offering a wide range of books to borrow and enjoy. Reading is a regular and valued part of our classroom experience.
