Paignton Academy

The Library offers vast learning resources to support all pupils at Key Stage 3, including modern technology, firmly believing in the huge advantage to our students for the internet to be placed alongside books, to aid their research. Many events take place in the library such as charity fund raising, displays of students work, quizzes and competitions, book promotions and careers presentations. Of course we offer the more traditional role of books; you still can't beat a good read. The Library is used for both educational and pastoral events, but can also provide a safe harbour on occasions if a student feels the need. The Waterleat Road Library was officially opened in February 2005, by the author Michael Morpurgo, who was Children's Laureate at the time.
