Remember - never give out personal details and don't believe everything you read on the Internet! For some really useful advice on staying safe online take a look at Think U Know and Chatdanger
- Revision guides are shelved with the adult books on particular subjects. There's a wide range of non-fiction books + popular biographies and leisure interest titles
- We take on volunteers aged 12-15 in the summer term to help with our annual Summer Reading Challenge which takes place over the summer holidays. Ask at your local library for details.
Your school will give you advice on what to do after your GCSEs. There are also some really useful websites you can check out for yourself:
