The school library and the Key Stage 3 National Strategy

The Key Stage 3 National Strategy sees the role of the school library as central to raising standards and maximising progress for all pupils through developing independent learners who read widely for pleasure and information. This material accompanies a training day that aims to keep school librarians informed of the work of the Key Stage 3 National Strategy and to know the contribution they can make to improving teaching and learning and raising standards in secondary schools.

Many school libraries are already working alongside departments as they implement Key Stage 3 Strategy pedagogies and practice; the aim of this training day is to ensure that, in doing so, the school library becomes a key player in whole-school improvement.
